Take me by the arm to the altar, take me by the collar to the cliff, take me by the waist to the water, take me by the hair to the ferris wheel, take me by the wrist to the river, take me by the braid down to my grave. Love is selfish, love goes tic-toc-tic, love knows jesus, apples & oranges. It's a zoo in your room when you part your lips & you long to kiss like you won't exist come the morning time, come the sunrise. & all I'd like to do this afternoon is to drag the mattress up to the roof: hushed tones in the ears of the airplane next to you. Let's crawl all over one another likes crows on a carca**, like ants on a crumb starving only starving only for the taste of tongues. Love is selfish, love goes tic-toc-tic, loves knows jesus, apples and oranges. Take me by the arm to the altar, take me by the collar to the cliff, take me by the waist to the water, take me by the hair to the ferris wheel, take me by the wrist to the river, take me by the braid down to my grave.
