From the recording Prayers & Observations
Lyrics
Joy
Down on my back
Down on my knees
Delightful necessity
No apologies for curves, my behind, my belly, my sounds
Obscene as it may be obsession has got
Drowning in joy
Feeling high while I'm drifting below
Glinting surfaces mellow and moist
Take me up take me
Let me enjoy
Feeling wanted and used as a toy
That's not bought but has been given
That won't be kept hidden
And is too dear to be destroyed
Down on my back
Down on my knees
Deliciously dirty
Without apologies for my looks, my lust, my breath my bust
Obscure as it may be I'm observing the one who is me
Drowning in joy
Carried sideways by waves in convoy
Crying while I am laughing I'm spoiled
But it's good
I want more of this joy
Till it all gets so hot it explodes
Till my cheeks turn all flush
And the flesh, felt by hearts, felt by hands
Becomes pounding and red
Pure pleasure
No disgust
No disguised measure of quality
Pure peeling
No afterwards cleaning up
Nothing but summing up kisses
And humming
Drowning in joy
Carried sideways by waves in convoy
Crying while I am laughing I'm spoiled
But it's good
I want more of this joy
Till it all gets so hot it explodes
Till my cheeks turn all flush
And the flesh, felt by hearts, felt by hands
Becomes pounding and red
As long as there's joy
Lasting till we're curled up in a coil
As were we one before egos unfold
It's OK to let go and enjoy
In togetherness to be withdrawn
While the scent of something fresh and warm
Lingers on
Lingers on
