I was smearing blood above the door when she came floating past
On a litter inlaid with the idol Bast
And I knew that I was trapped
That I'd follow her and be her fool though I'm a holy man
But the scriptures never said a girl could move around like that
And her eyes threw me the kind of glance
That says, "I've killed more prophets than you've ever seen"
Mine said, "talk dirty like that"
Well the King was dying in his bed as our frozen nation mourned
So we set out looking for a virgin girl
To keep his body warm
And though she was found and stripped down bare
And brought into his room
He said, "I'm sure you're very nice but I'm never touching you
My appetite is gone from lack of use
But you could tell me your name and the time of day
And what the kids are into"
She was all doe-like and white enshawled
As changeable as Spring
When she reached out so I could kiss her hand
I almost swallowed her ring
And I was scared I'd lie with her and then be struck down dead
Or that when I would close my eyes she'd shave my sleeping head
And that night I silenced all my prayers
And I gave my love to the heathen girl
But first I cut my hair
The sovereign's breath was running short and for his last decree
He said, "the harem must go to the eldest son
I can't take them with me
Cause my body's had enough
And my love is coming unstuck
And I'm a testament to the fact death will win
But death is a loser to the holy love
So take me
I'm done"
It's embarrassing to be so in love with you
It's embarrassing to be so in love with you
I sat beside you in the service
Did you touch my hand on purpose?
I can't believe the way that you look
So I wrote in your prayer book
While the preacher's voice shook
"I want my virginity took"
