Lyrics for Lust

Hey, you, gender nectar Sifting through the grain of gold Tripping at your door Is that you? Alpha in her blood And when the woman lies You don't believe her Rolling and unrolling Coiling, emerging, running free Running through the underworld Into your room Is he real or a ghost-lie? And she feels she isn't heard And the veil tears and rages 'Til her voices are remembered And his secrets can be told Remember, remember, remember, remember Remember, remember, remember, remember Hey, you, gender nectar Crystalline from the vine You know you'll drink her Rolling and unrolling Coiling, emerging, running free Running through the afterworld Into your room So she prays for a prankster And lust in the marriage bed And he waits 'til she can give And he waits and he waits
