Nectarine

Lyrics for Nectarine

What is prayer To a girl with no god But all the fear You swallow with His name At a very hungry age What is girl Bit tongue Don't run Full of grace A word so sweet It blunts the hunter's teeth So full of doubt Why don't you Spit the whole thing out Oh boy I'd like to believe That the twist of the trees Is still willing to teach me Oh man I'd like you to see That I'm still bad enough For the branches to reach me Tear up my skirt Make me buzz like the wild bees Leaving me dripping With the juice from the nectarine I saw a woman Weeping at the table I wanted to stretch but I wasn't able To do more than smile Feeble unstable So I closed my eyes And conjured up angels Who ripped off their wings And ruptured the fable Of good vs evil It was cain loving abel So full of warmth That once cracked cradle And I whispered to the gods That I loved that stranger And away away Away with your manger
