Dirty Lion

you were speaking in tongues

conversations

was it your god speaking?

were you coming undone?

was it nature

that showed you that

desire

colours all you see

your desire

desire

the only thing you seek

you say you're coming undone

and you've still got

a bad taste in your mouth

from the conversation

with the snake that

has left you reeling

and you learned how to crawl

like a real man

now you're like the rest

on your knees

i'll show you that

desire

colours all you see

your desire

desire

is everything

desire

colours all you see

your desire

desire

the only thing you seek

now you're writhing around

in your own mess

cos you lie down with the snakes

naked and so shamed

before god

but still you're speaking in tongues

and your god says:

desire

colours only you see

your desire

desire

is everything

desire

colours only you see

your desire

desire

the only thing you see
