The Sensual World [The Sensual World]

 

                Mmh, yes,

                Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth

                Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,

                Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies

                Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,

 

                                He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,

                                But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes.

 

                                Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.

                                Stepping out.

 

                To where the water and the earth caress

                And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,

                Do I look for those millionaires

                Like a Machiavellian girl would

                When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes,

 

                                And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world

                                You don't need words, just one kiss, then another.

 

                                Stepping out of the page into the sensual world

                                Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.

 

                And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,

                And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,

                Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?

                And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes,

 

                                He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts

                                He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,

 

                And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes,

                I said, mmh, yes,

                But not yet, mmh, yes,

                Yes.

                Mmh, yes,

                Yes.
