Lady Lamb - Crane Your Neck lyrics

I pressed my ear against your back not
Even a week after we met
And I felt your heartbeat fall
Like raindrops in a bucket
I used to have a pretty nice spine
But, I neglected to give it a name
So each time I tried to straighten it
I couldn't get it's attention

And I placed my palm upon your collarbone
And I wished to fall asleep
Deep in your marrow
As gently as a mouse curled up in a ball
As gently as a mouse until tomorrow

We ripped off all our clothes
And this included all our jewelry
And we ran hand in hand back when
You brought out the beast in me
The parts that are dormant
I wish to set them free
And in the clarity of this night
I make myself believe I
Can sleep easily alone

But there's a hunger under my skin
And it's gripping at my bones
There's a hunger like a lion's
And it's ripping right through my bones
So I push my limbs all forward like
A tree does in a storm
And I walk across the kitchen
And I lean against the window
I'm as calm as a baby lamb that is being led
I'm as blue as blood before
The blood goes red

And how it hurts even in the sun
It is a God damned joke how we
Can hurt even in the sun
For a heart beats best in a bed
Beside the one that it loves
Oh, yes, a heart beats the
Best when in a head
Death becomes irrelevant
'Cause if you're dreaming about dying
Then you're not really living, darling
You've gotta be starving
You've gotta be starving for it
And if you're crying by the moon, in the sun
You better lift up that chin

Twist your hips and crane your neck
Twist your hips and bend your body back
You've gotta be starving
You've gotta be starving for it
You've gotta be starving
You've gotta be starving for it
