Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - Crane Your Neck lyrics

I pressed my ear against your back not even a week after we met And I felt your heartbeat fall like raindrops in a bucket I used to have a pretty nice spine but I neglected to give it a name So each time I tried to straighten it, I couldn't get its attention And I placed my palm upon your collarbone And I wished to fall asleep deep in your marrow As gently as a mouse curled up in a ball As gently as a mouse until tomorrow We ripped off all our clothes and this included all our j**elry And we ran hand in hand back when you brought out the beast in me The parts that are dormant, I wish to set them free And in the clarity of this night I make myself believe I can sleep easily alone But there's a hunger under my skin and its gripping at my bones There's a hunger like a lion's and it's ripping right through my bones So I push my limbs all forward like a tree does in a storm And I walk across the kitchen and I lean against the window I'm as calm as a baby lamb that is being led I'm as blue as blood before the blood goes red And how it hurts even in the sun It is a God-damned joke how we can hurt even in the sun For, a heart beats best in a bed beside the one that it loves Oh yes, a heart beats the best when in a head, d**h becomes irrelevant Cause if you're dreaming about dying, then you're not really living, darling You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it And if you're crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chin Twist your hips And crane your neck Twist your hips And bend your body back You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
