Cupid Awake

Lyrics

[Verse] Wake up cupid Don't you have a thing or two to say The mother's crying King and queen are spying On the slave The baby just born Trying to keep warm Feeling for a match In the dripping darkness Leather harness Strapped across her back Now the aftermath of absent mindedness Go below Where the wishful thinkers Wish you'd finally break [Chorus] Now a heartbeat even gets to sleep But you're keeping my soul awake Your love Your love [Verse] Softer then now Cupid shoots her Quick one through the sun Clouds her kisses Act suspicious Speak in foreign tongues And the girl's a broken Bottlenecks round here are Commonplace Stealing generations Never leave a track to trace And [?] 1895 Now everybody knows his face When he's falling from the sky [Chorus] Now a heartbeat even gets to sleep But you're keeping my soul awake Your love Your love Pouring gravel on grass Pouring gravel on grass [Verse] Body's atlas Drowned the baptists And lost Jerusalem And no one ever bothered asking if it learned to swim The quiet power Of can you turn the deserts into snow And the suburb gypsy says it laying beside you Hell no Now the priest ran off with the secretary Scarlet letter E's They got tired of feeling numb around the knees [Chorus] Now a heartbeat even gets to sleep But you're keeping my soul awake Your love Your love Your love Pouring gravel on grass Pouring gravel on grass
