Wolf Like Me

[spoken]
“There’s something almost—predatory, about his masculinist homoeroticism.”

[spoken]
“Right. Which you’ll contrast to what we see in.”

[spoken]
“Right.”

[spoken]
“Heteronormative, culture.”

Say, say, my playmate
Won’t you lay a gaze on me?
Mirror my melody; transfer my tragedy
Got a curse I cannot lift!
Shinin’ where the sunset shifts
When the Moon is round and full?
Gotta bust that box
Gotta gut that fish
(My mind’s aflame)

We could cruise in an abstract car
But I bet we wouldn’t get too far
Before the transformation takes
And envy takes
Ev’ry crave gets slaked
My mind has changed my body’s frame
But God I like it—!
My heart’s aflamе; my corpus strained
But God I like it—!
My mind has changed my body’s framе
But God I like it—!
My heart’s aflame; my corpus strained
But God I like it—!

Charge me your day rate
I’ll turn you out in kind
When the Moon is round and full?
Gonna teach you tricks
That’ll blow your mongrel mind
Baby boy, I recognize
You’re a hideous thing inside
(Settle down)
If ever there were a lucky kind, it’s
You, you, you, you

I know it’s strange
A mother’s way to get to know you
You’ll never know, unless we go
So let me show you
I know it’s strange
A mother’s way to get to grow you
We’ve got ’til noon, here comes the Moon
So let Him show you
Show you now…
Dream me, oh dreamer—down to the floor
Open my hands and let them weave onto yours
Feel me, competer—down to my core
Open my heart and let it bleed onto yours…
Feedin’ on “Fever”—down on all fours
Show you what all that
Erotica was for

[Music identifies.]

Hey, hey, my playmate
Let me lay waste to thee!
Burnin’ down his hangin’ trees
It’s hot—hot—hot—hot
Got a curse we cannot lift
Shinin’ where Jim’s sunshine shifts
There’s a curse, comes with Christ’s kiss
The bite that binds the gift that gives
Now that we got gone for good
Ridin’ under your writhin’ hood
Tell your grammar and your mother too
It’s true—true—true—true

We’re howlin’
Forever—uh oh…
We’re howlin’
Forever—uh oh…

We’re howlin’
Forever—uh oh…

We’re howlin’
Forever—uh oh…

We’re howlin’
Forever—uh oh…
