Aphelion

Arab Strap

7

Kick the sheets off the night

And fuck it ′til its legs shake

If we can't make it, alrightWe can make a tiny earthquake

And her sound love′s sweet

Send lover's tongues by night

In this black kingdom of touch

We hate our life

Blow a kiss to the night

And leave it on its way now

All the fun has taken flight

And soon we'll have to face the day now

As Heaven falls, the Earth is spun

To pull us further from our Sun

The war unwon, the deed is done

We′re just victims of gravity

The final song fades out

And shadow fills the room

And we lie awake, grieving effigies

On our pocket-sprung tomb

Deepen in decision

And deepen in tristesse

Loving takes its sleep

With just one last cold caress
