today love's gonna take a backseat
to love making in the summer heat
i'm not made of the stuff of stories
so keep on begging me to stay close
while i'm nibbling on your collar bone
i'll still be a city away in the morning
and tonight love's gonna give the stage floor
to the rattle of the head board
you're not turning away a pretty sound open your mouth
and i'll keep quickening your breathing
while you're make believing
you're still sharing your bed tonight
don't write to me don't write
even though you had a good night friend
doesn't mean you gotta call me again
i don't wanna give you anything i need
even though you're banging on my door
doesn't mean you gotta make your fingers bleed
don't write to me don't write to me
my body is here but my mind's on the frontier
spread all your hours in the shower if you need to
mocking yourself hugging the drain
the lover you quake for simmering in your bed sores
all over town you sleep walk bed talking to yourself
keeps your bad health at eye level i'm the devil
don't write good night to you don't write
(sleep walk bed talking to yourself)
at eye level i'm the devil
