Chinese House Flowers

The wax paper that I taped over the windows
Melted quick as chocolate in the heat
It'll probably [bad word] off now
The windows look like frosted glass if you see them from the street

And the dim light that filters through
Casts a new light on you
It makes me get all misty because I remember something
And then I see a shadow

And I wanna follow you all the way down this time
I want to see what it is you're going down for
I want you more than I want anything
I want you the way you were

You were lying in the moonlight
Outside in the grass
When I heard an animal voice somewhere in the dark
And I saw a wing shadow pass

And just then the gleam in your eye
Made my blood freeze
There was something up above us [bad word] in the branches of the trees

And I pressed up against you again
I could hear your heartbeat, steady and hard and pure
I used to love you so much that I was sure it would kill me
And I want you the way you were
