My True Body (Live) [Jan 1999 Bowery Ballroom, NYC] Songtext
von Angels of Light

Yeah, I am your mute cousin
Young shaved virgin whore
On my prison steel bed, I wait for you

So follow me down
I am weeping and torn
Put your dirty white hands inside me

These walls, they are ringing
With my tortured lust screaming
Now, suck the fear from my belly

The red sea is raging
With my coughing and spitting
My love is bitter sulphur burning

Now, I am your mute wife
You wrote your name on my back with your knife
My pain is pointless and endless

I′m your stupid child, now
Who is shaking with grief in your mouth
And I'm calling your name from Hell


Na-na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na, na

The shining black horse on the ridge
Is snorting and choking with it
I can feel the texture of your suffering

My memory′s an ocean
Littered with useless debris
Please, stop me now from thinking

The white sun is rising
Over the lavender hill
I can see the footsteps of Jesus

So where's my true body, now
Now that I've been consumed?
I′m dissolving inside your future

Na-na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na, na

Na-na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
No, I am not my body
