I shaved my head
For the loss
I learned the books
And kissed the cross
I carried through
The yogi's curse
The holy chant
The unholy verse
Climbed the ladder
Up and down
Kissed the angel
And the clown
Swam the oceans
With no halt
Rinsed my sins
In the salt
And here I lie
To the left of you
With all the blots
Impure, but true
Just dim the lights
And kiss my skin
Close my eyes
And take me in
To a golden desert
To a distant land
Bury my limbs
Deep in the sand
Make sure you burn
Every stain on me
And then soar above
And rain on me
For the loss
I learned the books
And kissed the cross
I carried through
The yogi's curse
The holy chant
The unholy verse
Climbed the ladder
Up and down
Kissed the angel
And the clown
Swam the oceans
With no halt
Rinsed my sins
In the salt
And here I lie
To the left of you
With all the blots
Impure, but true
Just dim the lights
And kiss my skin
Close my eyes
And take me in
To a golden desert
To a distant land
Bury my limbs
Deep in the sand
Make sure you burn
Every stain on me
And then soar above
And rain on me
