Now You See Me/Now You Don’t

Oh me, oh my!
Demon lover comes at night
Now you see me, now you don't
Baby wants to, but baby won't
He wears a necktie, eyes black as ink
His skin is pale, he smells like milk
He knows the secret the body knows
Tenfold the pleasure away from bonds

I knew you were mine the moment I met you
That whatever happened you would be mine
I don't want to push you, don't want to upset you
Whatever you wanna do is fine

Who brings you wild flowers?
Who comes to you at night?
Who is he who's always here?
And who's gone at first light?
Baby's always gonna be
Born and raised by the sea
No stranger to the vices of men
She's no fool, belive me!

You're cruel, magnificent, omnipotent
You move me, do away with my innocence

Oh me, oh my!
The night is quiet, the night is white
She goes to market, she goes to church
She feels her longing sting like a curse

Baby grew up this Summer
Now baby's gonna have a baby
People 'round town will say
It's the devil's child, maybe
Or baby had a secret lover
Stranger danger, wonder when
It's times like these that people see
A black dog on the mountain

That Autumn a storm hit the outlying islands
That Winter the whole fleet was swept from the seas
And down the alley they heard baby crying
She howled as she fell to her knees

The sea is gonna take back the boneyard
The sea is gonna give up its dead
Your time on earth is still precious, my dear
But please, don't let it go to your head

Safeguard the women and children!
Keep them in the fold!
Jesus is a poor man's only friend
A consolation to the old
But raise your eyes up to the sky!
There's no savior here, it's no place to raise a child
Oh me, oh my, oh me, oh my!
