Lyrics for mary magdalene

A woman's work A woman's prerogative A woman's time to embrace She must put herself first A woman's touch, a sacred geometry I know where you start, where you end How to please, how to curse Yes, I learnt you needed me Yes, I'm here to open you Yes, I know that your heart is blue (So cold) I fear before the fire True as Mary Magdalene Creature of desire Come just a little bit closer to me Step just a little bit closer to me I can lift you higher I do it like Mary Magdalene I want you to say it Come just a little bit closer 'til we collide A woman's hands So dark and provocative A nurturing breath that could stroke Your divine confidence A woman's war Unoccupied history True nature won't search to destroy If it doesn't make sense Yes, I learnt you needed me Yes, I'm here to open you Yes, I know that your heart is blue (So cold) I fear before the fire True as Mary Magdalene Creature of desire Come just a little bit closer to me Step just a little bit closer to me I can lift you higher I do it like Mary Magdalene I want you to say it Come just a little bit closer 'til we collide Ooh, you didn't hear me now Ooh, you didn't hear me when I told you Ooh, you didn't hear me now Mary Magdalene Creature of desire Come just a little bit, just a little bit Mary Magdalene Creature of desire Come just a little bit closer 'til we collide Ooh, you didn't hear me now Ooh, you didn't hear me when I told you Ooh, you didn't hear me now
