a formidable marinade

amanda palmer

i have seen you in a turkish bath

i didn't know if i should cry or laugh

nakedness has a sweet

sweet smell

that sends me down to the pits of hell

the steam

that rises from the water

tells me you are satan's daughter

if i am the devil's son

into the darkness we should run

sodomy is not just for animals

human flesh

is not just for cannibals

i'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine

blood is thicker

and redder than wine

lay ourselves out

upon the table

ravish each other 'till we're no longer able

when juices mix in the heat of the fray

it will make a formidable marinade

if i put my hand in pandora's box

and i was smitten by a deathly pox

if i were a leper or the warts on a toe

would you think well of me

when i go

if i wrote my name with a razorblade

in the palm of your hand

would it still fade?

if i kissed your lips would you think it wrong

or would you come along with me

sodomy is not just for animals

and human flesh

is not just for cannibals

i'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine

blood is thicker

and redder than wine

lay ourselves out

upon the table

ravish each other 'till we're no longer able

when juices mix in the heat of the fray

it will make a formidable

a formidable marinade

i'll roast you on the spit like a fatted calf

when you're done i'll split your body in half

climb into your reddened core

curl up tight

and close the door

and in your body i'll dream of things

like geese

mustard

cabbages and kings

thermos full of chocolate sauce

and men who live on only remorse

sodomy is not just for animals

and human flesh

is not just for cannibals

i'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine

blood is thicker

and redder than wine

lay ourselves out

upon the table

ravish each other 'till we're no longer able

when juices mix in the heat of the fray

it will make a formidable

a formidable marinade

a formidable marinade
