Black Alley - Virgin Suicide lyrics
rate meIf I let you see me naked
Will you still know how to look in my eyes?
Will you still find the way to my heart
And see that as the ultimate prize?
Or will it become the summon of my thighs?
Will you still speak to me in poetic tongues that get me high?
And take me back in time to formalize
Where you and I were butterflies
Will you take me to a place where lovers never cry?
And nourish me in baptismal waters from wells that never run dry
Can I wait in your silence and bask in the perfect sculpture or your nights?
Can I elevate to a peace beyond passion
That cannot be defined?
I need to know that tasting the essence of you
Will not force me to swallow my pride
That you won’t run away and hide
I need to know that I’m not committing
Virgin suicide
All I wanna do is see what’s in my heart
Give it to the world and now you’re torn apart
‘Cause every line is a piece in my soul
Wanna step into the sun ‘cause the winter is cold
If I get free and bet all for you
Will our hearts beat as one, baby, will you stay true?
I don’t wanna have a one night stand
For me this is forever, don’t you understand?
Can we walk along this ink
And show her the edge and flow of the tide?
Can our spirits meet at the intersection
Where purity beyond pain resides?
Where the rhythm and the rhyme are true
I wanna make love to you, I see myself in you
And lose control when I think about all the things we can do
Gonna take us to a place where the pain subsides
Heal all the wounds inside, this is a wave I wanna ride
But I can’t commit virgin suicide
No, I can’t commit virgin suicide
No, I can’t commit virgin suicide
You tell me you love me, baby
And I so hope you mean it, baby
Because I feel like I need you, baby
And the way that you’re touching me
And the way that you’re grooving me
Feel like I feel you inside of me
If there’s a cure for this I don’t want it
I don’t want it
If there’s a remedy, I’ll run from it
I’ll run from it
If there’s a cure for this I don’t want it
I don’t want it
But I won’t commit, I won’t commit
I won’t commit virgin suicide
Virgin suicide
I won’t commit virgin suicide
Virgin suicide
You tell me you love me, baby
And I sure hope you mean it, baby
‘Cause I feel like I need you, baby
I can feel you inside me, baby
Don’t want you to leave me, baby
I won’t commit virgin suicide
I can’t commit virgin suicide
Virgin suicide
I won’t commit now
Virgin suicide
Failing for me would just really be not being able
To show my daughter that she can be what she wants to be
If she puts her heart and her mind to it
‘Cause that’s why I’m doing this, basically, to show her
That whatever she wants to be in life, she can be that
If she puts her heart into it and give it her all
And don’t listen to what everybody else is telling her to do
Or do what everybody else wants her to do
Just basically do what her heart tells her to do
And give it 110%
