It's that I have left of you
Some blood on the tissue you left in my room
And I don't know why I didn't say goodbye
But I had to leave

That cool woman greets
Each time she bleeds
I'm on it each day as it goes by
I entered the room
And called out to soon
And I scared the moment didn't I?
I can take the pain but the pleasure was worse
When I asked for an ambulance
You called me a hearse
What's a little death in the scheme of survival
I know that it's true cause I read in the bible

That it's I have left of you
Some blood on the tissue you left in my room
And I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye
But I had to leave

You wanted nothing
But you asked for too much
And you drown out my voice with your asking
Now the hourglass is broken
And the ribbon is burned
And the moment we feed is passing
I think of you now
All beauty and shame
And I yearned for your body
And I curse your name
What's a little death in the scheme of survival
I know that it's true cause I read in the bible

That it's I have left of you
Some blood on the tissue you left in my room
And I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye
But I had to leave

The moon [?] joins land and the sea
But was it the moon that brought you to me?
In a bed in France, instead of sleep
We signed a contract of blood on the sheet
I heard your voice, your bones undressed
I learned to read your alabaster flesh
And I held your kisses, you whispered to me
They cost me so much though you gave them for free
I've seen you lying, uncrossed on the floor
What's the point of weapons if we can't have a little war?

Now that it's all that I have left of you
Some blood on the tissue you left in my room
And I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye
But I had to leave
