Benediction - Thurston Moore

With benediction in her eyes

Our dearest gods are unsurprised

You better hold your lover down

Tie him to the ground

Whisper «I love you"one thousand times into his ear

Kiss his eyes and don’t you cry girl, he won’t disappear

But I know better than to let you go With benediction in her eyes

She’ll never get you back in time

You better hold your lover down

And tie her to the ground

Simple pleasures strike like lightning

Scratches spill her name

Thunder demons swipe her halo

Then they run away

But I know better than to let her go With benediction in her eyes

Our dearest gods are not surprised

You better hold your lover down

And tie her to the ground

Simple pleasures strike like lightning

Scratches cross her name

Whisper «I love you, my darling»

Life is just a flame

But I know better than to let her go I know better than to let you go I know better than to let her go I know better than to let you go I know better

I know better

I know better
