I believe

Billy Childish


Throw your arms about me like a net cast to the sea 
tell me your thoughts about me 
and tell me you'll never leave, you'll never leave 
you'll never leave 

place your lips to mine like the flower loves the bee 
tell me your dreams about me 
and make sure that I believe, I believe, I believe 

raise your legs and squeeze like the spider eats the fly 
tell your desires of me and tell me the reason why, the reason why, the reason why 

hold your love to me like the sun pinned to the sky 
show me your feelings for me 

and swear that you'll always be mine, always be mine, always be mine 

give me your heart only like blood cupped in your hands 
tell me the days you'll love me 
and make sure that I understand I understand, I understand 

Speak these words to me like the gospel spoke unto you, and I'll believe your story and know that you'll be true, you'll be true, you'll be true
