Exquisite Limbs

She's labelled her milk
And my stains on the wall
Oh passive flat warfare
And the shame of it all

Stairs weren't this winding
And this chest didn't heave
And this home-grown lonesome squirming load eased up on my knees

Call on the tendons in your exquisite limbs
Brush those ribs apart yeah make your bed lay within
Don't trim your nails there's no formalities here
When the trails that you leave remind that affection was here

Scent's a kind word
For what these sinuses feel
And how'd we sleep so soundly
On the scraps of Emile

No your letters alone are rude in my mouth
And would you believe the whole bar's ruined for me
Unless a touch might graze a neck
And then I'm all in for the ache again

Call on the tendons in your exquisite limbs
Brush those ribs apart and make your bed lay within
Don't trim your nails there's no formalities here
When the trails that you leave remind that affection was here
