Thurston Moore - Benediction lyrics

With benediction in her eyes Our dearest gods are unsurprised You better hold your lover down Tie him to the ground Whisper "I love you" one thousand times into his ear Kiss his eyes and don't you cry girl, he won't disappear But I know better than to let you go With benediction in her eyes She'll never get you back in time You better hold your lover down And tie her to the ground Simple pleasures strike like lightning Scratches spill her name Thunder demons swipe her halo Then they run away But I know better than to let her go With benediction in her eyes Our dearest gods are not surprised You better hold your lover down And tie her to the ground Simple pleasures strike like lightning Scratches cross her name Whisper "I love you, my darling" Life is just a flame But I know better than to let her go I know better than to let you go I know better than to let her go I know better than to let you go I know better I know better I know better
