"The Sex Song" lyrics

"The Sex Song"

I don't even know your name
Much less for shame
You've been comin' round my door
Comin' round my door

But you don't need to know much
To want to feel the touch
Of another human being
Comin' round your door
Comin' round your door

Maybe someday
I'd like to have a baby
Then you would have to
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor

It's all we really need sometimes
Cause love is tiresome and blind
To fornicate is much more safe
It leaves you stoned, deaf, dumb, fine
Always a little more kind

Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for life
For life
Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for tonight
For tonight

Last night I let you in
That's okay, we'll cool
But it's funny how the difference
Rules the earth
Rules the earth

That goes around and round that's a lot
Only time we ever stop
Is for that quick moment to refuel the beast
The cumshot
Oh the cumshot

Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for life
For life
Come inside my door
That's my medicine for tonight

Come inside my door
That's a metaphor for life
For life

I don't even know your name
Much
