| [00:07.41] | Summer pales, like a ghost of stubborn Spring |
| [00:14.97] | |
| [00:16.27] | This itch, this prayerful longing for heat |
| [00:23.14] | Belies an angel’s desire to take wing |
| [00:30.66] | So as you fall, then fall into me sweet |
| [00:43.86] | Persephone now your poet and guide |
| [00:47.73] | Night after day after night I’ll complete |
| [00:54.42] | Your saintly goodness with its darker side |
| [01:02.21] | As one without the other is naive |
| [01:10.54] | Past Limbo, to the Second Circle we slide |
| [01:23.27] | |
| [01:39.85] | When first you whisper that little white lie |
| [01:43.90] | The gods will laugh |
| [01:45.65] | The gods will cry |
| [01:47.77] | |
| [01:55.89] | In this soft circle, Reason’s slave to desire |
| [02:00.34] | This feels like fun |
| [02:01.71] | This feels like fire |
| [02:04.20] | |
| [02:12.03] | These small indiscretions may get lost over time |
| [02:17.83] | So much like love |
| [02:18.78] | So much like crime |
| [02:19.97] | |
| [02:28.56] | As fine fine fabric slipping over your skin |
| [02:33.43] | This feels like silk |
| [02:34.48] | This feels like sin |
| [02:36.49] | |
| [02:52.35] | Like a gentle dirty dream |
| [02:54.73] | Like a room where you can hide |
| [02:56.85] | Like confession in your sleep |
| [02:59.24] | Like expression sanctified |
| [03:01.56] | Like a devil, like a friend |
| [03:03.82] | Like a doctor who can end your pain |
| [03:10.77] | Like a pillow, like a kiss |
| [03:13.16] | Like a party, like a pill |
| [03:15.41] | Like a priest my lovely lips |
| [03:17.84] | As redemption will fulfill |
| [03:20.23] | Every spectral midnight fantasy |
| [03:23.62] | |
| [03:25.27] | Each and every d*mning desire to be |
| [03:33.43] | Complicit with me |
| [03:40.45] | |
| [04:45.43] | And as I leave you softly under the stars |
| [04:49.46] | Without a scratch |
| [04:52.01] | Without a scar |
| [04:53.65] | |
| [05:01.68] | Like hell on earth slipping under your skin |
| [05:05.88] | This feels like love |
| [05:07.56] | This feels like sin |
| [05:09.62] | ――end――* |
