Lyrics and translation
Original
All night, all day
I could go down on you
Hear you sing your pleasure
God is good
Or whatever made the mouth
To drink the treasure
Swallow poison, swallow sugar
Sometimes they taste the same
But I know your love is neither
And love is just a name
It's a thing we say
For what pulls through
'Til we come together
You scratch my skin to help me feel
'Cause I ask you to
We see the blood returning
Reaching through the veil
Teach me
It's you I'm learning
Swallow poison, swallow sugar
Sometimes they taste the same
But I know your love is neither
And love is just a name
It's a thing we say
For what pulls through
'Til we come together
No beauty shackle or shame
Is banished here
In this room, your temple
Let patience reign
And thank you for being gentle
Swallow poison, swallow sugar
Sometimes they taste the same
But I know your love is neither
And love is just a name
It's a thing we say
For what pulls through
'Til we come together
