Current 93 - Bind Your Tortoise Mouth lyrics

Bind your tortoise mouth With mist and curved teeth The main joke had been cracked And whilst the laughter melted Into smaller worlds like whirlpools s**ing in the slaughtering sheep I looked at your face in pearl light And sleepy the clouds that kiss your mouth And silver-lidded the moon that laughed and cried Whilst the crumbs of night that leap into Shadows as windows close and curtains open Hissed as smoke might if God could give it tongues You were not alone in Sanctus sound As bell shafts spires into liquid dogs And cats curl and arch into kittens again From the corner of my eye I see Black Ships have k**ed the sky And you're not alone in Sanctus sound As bell shafts spires into liquid dogs And cats curl and arch into kittens again Yet from the corner of my eye I see Black Ships have k**ed the sky
