[Intro]_x1 

 
 

You_met_him_at_some_temple,_where 

they_take_your_clothes_at_the_door. 

He_was_just_a_numberless_man_in_a_chair 

whod_just_come_back_from_the_war. 

And_you_wrap_up_his_tired_face_in_your_hair 

and_he_hands_you_the_apple_core. 

Then_he_touches_your_lips_now_so_suddenly_bare 

of_all_the_kisses_we_put_on_some_time_before. 

 
 

And_he_gave_you_a_German_Shepherd_to_walk 

with_a_collar_of_leather_and_nails, 

and_he_never_once_made_you_explain_or_talk 

about_all_of_the_little_details, 

such_as_who_had_a_word_and_who_had_a_rock, 

and_who_had_you_through_the_mails. 

Now_your_love_is_a_secret_all_over_the_block, 

and_it_never_stops_not_even_when_your_master_fails. 

 
 

And_he_took_you_up_in_his_aeroplane, 

which_he_flew_without_any_hands, 

and_you_cruised_above_the_ribbons_of_rain 

that_drove_the_crowd_from_the_stands. 

Then_he_killed_the_lights_in_a_lonely_Lane 

and,_an_ape_with_angel_glands, 

erased_the_final_wisps_of_pain 

with_the_music_of_rubber_bands. 

 
 

And_now_I_hear_your_master_sing, 

you_kneel_for_him_to_come. 

His_body_is_a_golden_string 

that_your_body_is_hanging_from. 

His_body_is_a_golden_string, 

my_body_has_grown_numb. 

Oh_now_you_hear_your_master_sing, 

your_shirt_is_all_undone. 

 
 

And_will_you_kneel_beside_this_bed 

that_we_polished_so_long_ago, 

before_your_master_chose_instead 

to_make_my_bed_of_snow? 

Your_eyes_are_wild_and_your_knuckles_are_red 

and_youre_speaking_far_too_low. 

No_I_cant_make_out_what_your_master_said 

before_he_made_you_go. 

 
 

Then_I_think_youre_playing_far_too_rough 

for_a_lady_whos_been_to_the_moon; 

Ive_lain_by_this_window_long_enough 

to_get_used_to_an_empty_room. 

And_your_love_is_some_dust_in_an_old_mans_cough 

who_is_tapping_his_foot_to_a_tune, 

and_your_thighs_are_a_ruin,_you_want_too_much, 

lets_say_you_came_back_some_time_too_soon. 

 
 

I_loved_your_master_perfectly 

I_taught_him_all_that_he_knew. 

He_was_starving_in_some_deep_mystery 

like_a_man_who_is_sure_what_is_true. 

And_I_sent_you_to_him_with_my_guarantee 

I_could_teach_him_something_new, 

and_I_taught_him_how_you_would_long_for_me 

no_matter_what_he_said_no_matter_what_youd_do. 

 
 

I_believe_that_you_heard_your_master_sing 

while_I_was_sick_in_bed, 

Im_sure_that_he_told_you_everything 

I_must_keep_locked_away_in_my_head. 

Your_master_took_you_travelling, 

well_at_least_thats_what_you_said, 

And_now_do_you_come_back_to_bring 

your_prisoner_wine_and_bread?
