Lyrics
You my backdoor blackeyed susan
You my ship adrift
You my compass spinning dervish
Saint with broken teeth
You my drowning altar boy
You my thistle child
You my fallen Irish wake
Our appetites entwined
Dissolve so I may love you
Lie beside me, lie beside me
Lie beside me on the ground
You my cheap spent penny token
Useless currency
You my swinging plastic Jesus
My star upon the sea
You and your bare shoulders
I have to hold them just to stop you, just to stop you
From coming apart
You my backdoor blackeyed susan
You my driving blind
Now you lay me down to sleep
Goodnight my love goodbye
Dissolve so I may love you
Lie beside me, lie beside me
Lie beside me, lie beside me
For a while
