Addicted
to the marvel
Of your effigy
My lover you’re cool as marble
And I’m frozen at your feet
Where everybody knows me
Like a dog at your table
Saving up the scraps
You’d think I’d be better able to get up and be a man
Anyway you’re just a man
You’re gonna lose your Magdelaine
Your pious verses sound so smug
Like you hung on the cross to save our love
You’re just another lover, you’re just another lover
And you’re gonna lose your Magdelaine
Down on my knees
Life was so mean
You wanna know how I’m doing?
I’m down, down, down
You’re my Jesus and you don’t even look like him
I’ve been living like a deaf blind woman
It’s why I haven’t forgotten what the flower was for
I’m gonna do the right thing
I’m gonna do the fine thing
I’m gonna doo wah
Doo wah diddy doo wah diddy wah diddy hey
You’re gonna lose your Magdelaine
Empty prophets living in a dream
You wear my heart in your veins
You’re just another lover, you’re just another lover
And I demystify you
I demystify you
