Ripping the tights off my nuclear bride As we surf the Deoxyribonucleic tide Held together by gaffa tape, anvil and fire Barebacking angels in spirals of wire Though our hearts can't be denied Burdened with shame, striving for pride With a lust too hot to handle Burning bright like roman candles Where the oxygen thins to a paste or a dream And the sirens are drag kings with thick lipstick seams The reactor transmutes breath of god from a scream Pumping black bile and blood into neighbouring streams Though our hearts can't be denied Burdened with shame, striving for pride Still we're just going through the motions Stripped of love and deep emotion My heart drills a hole in the cell of my chest Whose prison walls labour a deep mortal test To commit to eternity inside the core In the hope that it doesn't become like before Though our hearts can't be denied Burdened with shame, striving for pride With a lust too hot to handle Burning out like roman candles
