Lyrics for Milk of Marrow
I saw what you did underneath the table Beneath the fine layer of sweat That encapsulates your hands and face As if you are my egg. Is that sweat from my body? My voice turned to milk in your mouth I gave you words: The milk was from my breast Take my voice in your mouth Feel my lips with the sound Take my voice speak marrow, speak bone Marrow and bone. Crystal clams were my bones Melt the ice with our tongues Secret milk passes between our lips Speak body and bone! Marrow, marrow, marrow They're calling! They're calling woman! Take my voice in your mouth Feel my lips with the sound I hear what you did underneath the table Beneath the fine layer of flesh That encapsulates your hands and face As if you are my egg Is that skin from my body? My voice turned to milk in your mouth The milk of marrow
