How hard for the covers to be pulled from their slumbers,
|
but a ghost never gives up its sheet.
|
Tell me, is it the same for the rattling chains or whatever you wear when you sleep?
|
You remember the time that I told you to take off your clothes?
|
You were naked as a window.
|
But I'll take all that nothing over nothing at all.
|
I'm just a hallway for ceilings and walls, babe
|
and emptiness all the way through.
|
You know you're asking too much to be held and not touched,
|
but somehow that's just what you do.
|
You remember the time that I told you to take off your clothes?
