this time you are mine
we shall return
from whence we came
and this time
the moon shall rise
and when it sets we’ll be far away
and spinning
round the crazed bonfire
monsters raw and lean
but somehow hereabouts
you’re the liar - surrender
surrender, surrender
all night
dance for the ravens dance for the ravens
on your bat wing kite
dance for the ravens dance
for what you’re craving
the scream queens
in their crisp blue jeans
you know they’re laying down the law
they dance hard
through their nightly facade
suggest you forget
what you saw
and choking on those
fragrant coins
your guru says it’s fine:
“let the hungry crows fly in
the windows of your mind
and surrender”
all night
dance for the ravens dance for the ravens
in your bat wing kite
dance for the ravens dance
for what you’re craving
this time
we’ll bump and we’ll grind
there ain’t nothing else for us to do
we’ll climb climb
leave the gutters behind—
my love, they’re always gonna
reach out for you
and spinning round the crazed bonfire
monsters raw and lean
you were born
beneath this vast black sky
you surrender, you surrender forever
all night
dance for the ravens dance for the ravens
in your bat wing kite
dance for the ravens, dance
for what you’re craving
this time you are mine
we shall return from whence we came
and this time
the moon shall rise
and when it sets we’ll be far away
far away
