The Great Undressing

Lyrics

[Intro: Annie Bielski and Zia Anger] It's fruit with cake and, like, cinnamon, it's very fruity and good What's this album about, Jenny? It's about vampires No! Yeah What? Well, it's about more things than that but, a large theme of it is— That is so basic. "It's about vampires!" It's about blood... [Chorus: Jenny Hval] Like capitalism It works like unrequited love that way It never rests Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you And all the people in the world Are in-between you and I in that way And in the way of love [Verse 1: Jenny Hval] You must be disgusted But I need to keep writing because everything else is death I'm self-sufficient, mad, endlessly producing I don't need money, I just need your love Or your approval, anything [Chorus: Jenny Hval] Like capitalism It works like unrequited love that way It never rests Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you And all the people in the world Are in-between you and I in that way And in the way of love [Verse 2: Jenny Hval] Any sign is a promise of love, of being exposed A staged ritual undressing taking a place of consummation I'm here writing, working, making myself Available for love Making myself available for love Because I love you Because I love you Because I love you [Outro: Jenny Hval] I just need a sign Any recognition is a reward Because I love you
