A LEAP OF FAITH INTO A BOTTOMLESS PIT Songtext
von Guante & Big Cats!

I can hear the blood coursing through your body
I can see your collarbone, see a little sweat
I don't have a light on me -- I'm sorry
I just stepped into the darkness to clear my head


Baby, you're like a evil baby
Full size horns, red eyes, the whole nine
Voice is lo-fi, your heart is a coal mine
With no canaries left...
You're a voice actor home from the studio
Watching pornography, shouting obsceneties
A cartoon rabbit still snickering and twisting your tongue
As you sniff who you used to be up
Vesuvius due to erupt, so vivid all day
When every inch of our skin is Pompeii
You're a five star entree comin' up at 5 AM
You're a puppy...
With rabies
You're a babydoll Che T on a white girl with dreadlocks
A revolutionary, you're a can of baked beans
And God is a hobo on a back road
telling crazy stories to other drifters in the night
And our life, our existence is just one of them
And when he gets to the part about you...
They don't believe him...
Yeah, you're a reason
Yeah a bad one but still
You're a reason to do something stupid
And I don't need a reason
To feed this starving satellite
That circles me endless, a bursted appendix
Grenade-like
You're an explosion of daylight
In the middle of a dream about sex
You're a 12 hour sleep without rest
You're a leap of faith...
Into a bottomless pit
Don't twist your tongue at me dear
You can't tie knots in a toothpick

I can hear the blood coursing through your body
I can see your collarbone, see a little sweat
I don't have a light on me -- I'm sorry
I just stepped into the darkness to clear my head


Maybe that was harsh
It's not that you're not beautiful
It's just that -- a lot of things are beautiful
Like, sunsets, a big bowl of pasta
The Milky Way, Minneapolis, a hearty breakfast
There's more than one way to remember what we've built today
A contact, an alliance, a friendship
I can give you that much if you'll accept it
'Cause two people don't have to touch to be connected
Yes, that's a common misconception
"Let's just be friends" is a beautiful sentence
Too many lovers and not enough love
I know folks who fuck a lot but ain't got no-one to trust
And I'm not sayin' that monogamy's for everyone
Or you're a bad person if you sleep around
I'm just sayin'
I'd rather grab a slice with ya than spend the night with ya
And after that, I'll see ya 'round

I can hear the blood coursing through your body
I can see your collarbone, see a little sweat
I don't have a light on me -- I'm sorry
I just stepped into the darkness to clear my head
