Blood and Butter Songtext
von Caroline Polachek

Look at you in denim and bows
I know the mode, the mode is lethal
Say you wanna show me a place
The place is here, the here is inside you

Where did you come from, you?

Pretty with the critical mass
Your body has the body power
Lying at the foot of a linden
In the navel ring inventing June

Where did you come from, you?

And what I want is
To walk beside you
Needing nothing
But the sun that′s in our eyes
Paint the picture
In blood and butter
Holy water
Fire in the sky


Let me dive
Through your face
To the sweetest kind of pain
Call you up
Nothing to say
No, I don't need no entertaining
When the world
Is a bed
Give me green and ribbon red
Oh, I get
Closer than your new tattoo

Look at you, all mythological
And Wikipediated
Look how I forget who I was
Before I was the way I am with you
Where did you come from, you?

And what I want is
To walk beside you
Needing nothing
But the sun that′s in our eyes
Paint the picture
In blood and butter
Holy water
Fire in the sky


Let me dive
Through your face
To the sweetest kind of pain
Call you up
Nothing to say
No, I don't need no entertaining
When the world
Is a bed
Give me green and ribbon red
Oh, I get
Closer than your new tattoo
