"Aphrodisiac" lyrics

Romance moves in shades of red
That sharks can smell and hearts have bled
The mattress is a desperate thing
All that tension coiled in its springs
Her finger winds through the phone cord
Like a snake through the orchard
And romance comes in apple red
That snakes can tell and ribs have bled

In your head you curse and swear
God thought they were our prayers
Stare at the moon until it cracks
Stare at the moon until it cracks
Stare at the moon until it cracks
Stare at the moon until it cracks

Love can come in shades of greed
Mostly statue of liberty green
Take your blues and add your yellow streak
You fear your green with envy and your weak
The dollar bill is a foster child
Changing hands and exchanging smiles
And green moves through shades of greed
That sharks can take from hands that need
(And green moves through shades of greed)

In your head you curse and swear
God thought they were our prayers
Stare at the moon until it cracks
Stare at the moon until it cracks
Because our minds are aphrodisiacs
Because our minds are aphrodisiacs

Shadows move in shades of black
That hearts tick-tock without keeping track
Shadows stack and that is black
The mortal cape hung down our backs
The darkest pitch moves memories
Wondering whose shadow you might be
When souls are shades of nothing more
Then black shadows stretching across the floor

In your head you curse and swear
God thought they were our prayers
Stare at the moon until it cracks
Stare at the moon until it cracks
Because our minds are aphrodisiacs
And our minds are aphrodisiacs
And it's all that we have left (And our minds are aphrodisiacs)
And it's all that we have left (And our minds are aphrodisiacs)
And our minds are aphrodisiacs
And our minds are aphrodisiacs
Aphrodisiacs
Aphrodisiacs
