Venice Drowning lyrics

Venice breathing -- shiny chimeras
of sex and violence
in the purple evening silence
Venice dreaming of a partner

Fill your arms with breasts of marble
from the cradle to the table;
coax this naked treasure from your savior

Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life

Divine blasphemer tempting
holy beads of jism
with a scarlet catechism
Her lips will answer (oh her lips will answer)

How to be the perfect stranger --
the perfect lover, wanting
and as you'll discover, giving
and as you'll discover, being

Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life

Into the sublime corrosion
Venice drowning in emotion

The body stirs and is reanimated
Only briefly but then, life is very brief.

Come swim in to my love,
Come swim into my life

Venice drowning,
Venice drowning,
Venice drowning,
Venice drowning,
Venice drowning
Venice drowning (Slowly disappearing)
/ (Repeat and fade)
