Kiss of Life Songtext
von Peter Gabriel

See me a big woman
A big woman look how you dance
See me a big woman
A big woman caught in a trance
In a trance
Dancing on the tabletop
Covered up with the Easter feast
Dancing for the fishermen
From the very large right to the least
Dancing for the slow release
First the boy, and then the beast
And the beast

Burning, burning with the kiss of life
Burning, burning with the kiss of life

See me, a big woman
A big woman so full of life
See me, a big woman
A big woman going to be my wife
Be my wife


(Yeah you)
Watching for the different eyes
They change your face
They come inside
Watch the spirits laugh and cry
Watch them find a place to hide
Watch the spirits talk in tongues
Watch them take you for a ride
For a ride

Down at the ocean lies a body in the sand
Big woman sits beside
Head in hand
With heat from her skin
And fire from her breath
She blows hard
She blows deep
In the mouth of death

Burning, burning with the kiss of life
Burning, burning with the kiss of life
Burning, burning with the kiss of life

Hey, hey
(Kiss of life, kiss of life)
Hey, hey
(Kiss of life, kiss of life)
Hey, hey
(Kiss of life, kiss of life)
Hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey


Shaken, abandoned
Shaken, abandoned
(Kiss of life, kiss of life)
Shaken, abandoned
Shaken, abandoned
(Kiss of life, kiss of life)

Shaken, abandoned
Shaken, abandoned
(Kiss of life, kiss of life)
Shaken, abandoned
Shaken, abandoned
(Kiss of life, kiss of life
Kiss of life, kiss of life)
