Forbidden Fruit I sold it, my heart, my truck my gas field wreck of burning petrol to the beautiful lesbian Short black hair like a boy with breasts and hip bones jutting the kind that tickle when you touch them The beautiful self-delusion called love until the punishment sets in My love sick heart is failing the best is the longing, the satisfyingly sweet taste brief but lingering. Endless nights of one-night stands wishing for one night in full darkness enveloped in darkness' arms hiding within your shadow a perfect melody of silence an echo that cannot be heard Can I be your backup boyfriend? A standby for love A jingoistic fervor for your limbs held acanter, forming consonants paint on your best face take what drugs to make you happy 'cause laughter don't come cheap my love is for sale, my body second-hand my soul is taken, and not for barter a farthing for a favor, she says I love you, she says her body an upward bow taut for my touch fingers pointing to the exit sign this way lies paradise I close my eyes and I can almost smell you your hair like flowers, your ribs and ticklish hip bones jutting your too skinny and I'm too fat, too full of the world How it beats what it cannot break I'm wounded and shamed Not trustworthy, shiftless and maimed but my heart is pure and true Hidden and immaculate It bleeds for you, my lesbian lover It bleeds
