The Sweat Descends

Art In Manila


The sweat descends
The sweat descends
One cock, sure fox 
In a house of hens
My mouth will water 
When the sweat descends

The sweat descends 
Sweet decadence
Let's hope 
This party never ends
A shiv in the ribs
Some smoke in the hive
You live how you live 
Or die how I

Wake me up 
When we get to heaven
Let me sleep if we go to hell
Blame my mouth 
If the house is burning
Touch my tongue 
If you still can't tell

The sweat descends
My psyche bends
I'll never be the same again
This soul is twisted 
But the skin will mend
My tight young skin 
Covers up the sick palimpsest

Wake me up 
When we get to heaven
Let me sleep if we go to hell
Blame my mouth 
If the house is burning
Fuck my tongue 
If you still can't tell

Make your mark 
On the darkened dancefloor
Slip across the present tense
Press up 
Against the skin you care for
Meet me where the sweat descends (5x)
