lyrics

in bed with a rattlesnake
kissing the hand that takes and takes
always wanting
always hungry

water the soil and hold the fruit in your hands

someday away from harm
someday we'll sleep in loving arms
without worry
without shame
we'll know love's name

water the soil and hold the fruit in your hands

(the sky stretched out its crying mouth
the night dissolved into a sound)
