Verse 1
Oh comely
I will be with you when you lose
your breath
Chasing the only meaningful
memory you thought you had left
With some pretty bright and
bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your
chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like
to guess
In your memory you're drunk on your awe to me
It doesn't mean anything at all
Verse 2
Oh comely
All of your friends are letting
you blow
Bristling and ugly
Bursting with fruits falling out
from the holes
Of some pretty bright and bubbly
friend
You could need to say comforting
things in your ear
But oh comely
There isn't such one friend that
you could find here
Standing next to me
Only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I
own
say what you want to say
and hang for your hollow ways
moving your mouth
to pull out all your miracles
aimed for me
Verse 3
Your father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark
of the stadiums
The music and medicine you
needed for comforting
So make all your fat fleshy
fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
Soft silly music is meaningful
magical
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them milking with green
fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were
sugary sweet machines
Smelling of semen all under the
garden
Was all you were needing when
you still believed in me
Say what you wanna say and hang
for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out
all your miracles aimed for me

Verse 4
I know they buried her body with
others
Her sister and mother and 500
families
And will she remember me 50
years later
I wished I could save her in
some sort of time machine
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are

Outro
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend
itself with mine
