(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Open my legs, lie down with death
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
I pull him close
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life
I twist, I bite
The foxes chatter in the night

Show me the way
This feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need
Show me the way
This feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need

A shimmering landscape
I widen my eyes
Can I keep all this beauty
Forever inside?

I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
Run through rain, run through fog
Taking consolation in cats
and dogs and things that cannot speak
Ran to the ancestral plane
but they all showed up drunk and insane
When I asked what I could offer them
They said: Gin and tonic or lithium
I asked: Which way should I go?
Through cigarette smoke, they said, child
How would we know?

Show me the way
This feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need
Show me the way
This feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need

Desire beyond reason
Ruinous thing
A stranger came to my door
And I welcomed him in
My feet are bleeding
But I cannot stop
I have many, many miles
Yet to cross

I came to a clearing, full of wailing and keening
A well of tears that never runs dry
Women said: We've been waiting
Waiting to meet you, it's only a matter of time
Thrust my fists in the ground
and the earth made a moaning sound
Oh-oh
I could feel something shudder
Deeper, deeper down

And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
And all their violent offers, I just turn them down
And your threats and your promises, they don't scare me
After all, there's nobody more monstrous than me (woo)
Than me (woo)
