Lyrics:

  • she is benediction
  • she is addicted to thee
  • she is the root connection
  • she is connecting with he

  • here I go and I don't know why
  • I fell so ceaselessly
  • could it be he's taking over me...

  • I'm dancing barefoot
  • heading for a spin
  • some strange music draws me in
  • makes me come on like some heroin/e

  • she is sublimation
  • she is the essence of thee
  • she is concentrating on
  • he, who is chosen by she

  • here I go and I don't know why
  • I spin so ceaselessly,
  • could it be he's taking over me...

  • [chorus]

  • she is re-creation
  • she, intoxicated by thee
  • she has the slow sensation that
  • he is levitating with she ...

  • here I go and I don't know why,
  • I spin so ceaselessly,
  • 'til I lose my sense of gravity...

  • [chorus]

  • (oh god I fell for you ...)

  • the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
  • the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
  • grave visitations
  • what is it that calls to us?
  • why must we pray screaming?
  • why must not death be redefined?
  • we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
  • and whirl on a pane of glass
  • an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
  • the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

  • (oh god I fell for you ...)
