"The Fire Knows Its Own" lyrics

Her finger curled like the tail of a scorpion
I crawl to you on my teeth like a mortal man
Lullabies of lashings take me to unconscious land
My body let a poem pass out of every gash made by your hand

Love
What would you do for love?
Would you cut yourself in pieces
To feed the rest of us?

I only ran away so I'd be quicker back to you
I got disaster in my bones
The only time your straight with me is when we're lying down
My girl the fire knows its own

Love
What would you do for love?
Would you smash yourself to mush
To feed the rest of us?

I'm aroused at a rope tie
I blush at a knot
Scoop my eyes from sockets
I know what's real I don't need to watch it
Take my tongue if you need it
I've long been done speaking
The truth needs no believers, believe me

I only ran away so I'd be quicker back to you
I got disaster in my bones
The only time your straight with me is when we're lying down
My girl the fire knows its own

I only ran away so I'd be quicker back to you
I got disaster in my bones
The only time your straight with me is when we're lying down
My girl the fire knows its own

The fire knows its own
