More Than Flesh And Blood
Slowly, so slowly, ever so slowly
She unbuttons her overcoat
She tilts back her head as far as it will go
I kiss the delicate blue vein
Pulsing in her throat
Baby, what are you waiting for?
Slip out of your evening dress
Take off your velvet choker
Let down your long, black hair
Take me where the music plays
And the candles flicker
Take me where my heart beats quicker
Than my heart has ever beaten before
Where we can be
More than flesh and blood
We can be
More than flesh and blood
If you believe
More than flesh and blood
We can be
More than flesh and blood
Two lovers can rise above
In your sweat, I taste my body
In your eyes, I see my face
In your voice, I hear my music
In your vision of me
I can find a path to grace
To a place
That’s more than flesh and blood
Shh...listen
Can you hear it?
Sounds like a song the angels sing
Shh...listen
There it is again
Oh baby, is it the sound of our breathing
Or the beating of our wings?
Meet me tonight on the steps of the temple
Come hither with a vengeance, darling
Come to me
We’ll go down alone into the vault of inspiration
But we’ll come out together
Baby, you’ll see
And I will pray for you
And you will pray for me
And our prayer will be the same
That our love will always be
More than flesh and blood

Dreaming Of Italy
I had a dream
You and I were walking on a promenade
We came to a church on the banks of a river
There were angels blowing trumpets carved in the facade
Michelangelo was buried in the courtyard
You kneeled down and put a flower on his grave
And you said, “My heart is here with you, my darling
But my soul is someplace far away”
Dreaming of Italy
Baby, what’s that tell you about you and me
Dreaming of Italy
Long gone
The church bells tolled the setting sun
The sky turned seven shades of blue
I wrapped my arms around the statue of a saint
But when I woke up, baby, I was holding you
When you walk out in the cool of the evening
You wear a white cotton dress
A soft breeze blows it tight against your body
I see the curve of your hips
The swell of your breasts
You said, “I want Italian moonlight shining down on me
But I guess this full moon over Memphis is the only moon I’ll ever see”
If that’s what makes you happy, then honey, I swear
Wrap your arms around my back
And, baby, I’ll take you there

So Hung Up
See the girl with the hourglass figure?
Buddy, she’s with me
Rhinestone earings, six inch heels
And a Flintstone’s bandaid on her knee
She ’s got a switchblade form Tijuana
She’s got a Mona Lisa smile
She talks to her cat about her love life
She walks around naked just to drive me wild
I’m so hung up
I’m so hung up on the woman I love
She is a strange Renaissance beauty
Completely self possessed
If Botticelli saw her at a cocktail party
He’d spend all night looking down her dress
I’m waiting for the second coming
I’m waiting for a sign
I’m waiting for the stars to fall
For the rivers to rise
For the water to turn into wine
She’s the voice in the burning bush
She’s the poison I prefer
Her lips drip honey, here eyes shoot fire
You tell me, is it any wonder

Pleasure Of The Curve

Pleasure Of The Curve
I wear a silver skull on my right hand
To remind me of the Promised Land
Around my neck I wear a heart of glass
As a memento mori, nothing lasts
I got a place in my heart with a thirty day lease
A blood red rose for the centerpiece
Lingerie on a straight back chair
I remember the night you left it there
Do you want my heart?
Do you have the nerve?
All I know about love
Is the pleasure of the curve
You kissed so hard you cut my lip
You put a drop of my blood on your fingertip
Then you pressed it hard up against my mouth
So nothing tender could slip out
Its so easy early on
When you’re swimming in a sea of sex
Then you wake up on the beach in the early dawn
You look at each other and you say, “What next?“
You can never be sure
You can never be sure of anything

Where The Earth Meets The Sky
Come to me, my darling
In the twilight
Oh, sweet hour of mystery
When it isn’t day and it isn’t night
You hover just above me like some holy ghost
Flesh and spirit
Neither and both
Here in my heart
My love and I
Here in my heart
Where the earth meets the sky
Let’s make sound into music
Let’s make words into a loving tongue
Let’s make sex into a symbol
Of heaven and earth joined together as one
In a tree outside my window
A nightingale sings
A song so sad and beautiful
That it gives my spirit voice
Gives my body wings
Men into angels
Forever, amen
Flesh into spirit
And back again

Make Noise Like A Man
Everybody who has felt the heat
Has been burned by the fire
Everybody who’s been lifted on the wings of love
Has felt the wight of desire
Some love lasts the duration
So don’t pretend you’re cold if you’re hot
Some love leads to separation
So don’t pretend you’re happy if you’re not
Do you want anybody?
Do you need anybody?
Do you love anybody?
Take a stand
And make noise like a man
Someday, I hope it’s someday soon
You’ll see someone across a crowded room
With a face like an angel
And a smile like the sun
The world is new, and the night is young
Someday, girl, your prince will come
And when he does, don’t let the cat get your tongue
Someday, boy, you’ll find your heart of gold
And when you do, be bold
Give me the strength of my convictions
The courage of my desire without restriction
I don’t want my life to be the same old story
You know what they say
Not guts, no glory

Worship In This Place
I’ll bring precious gifts to her
Bring her frankincense and myrrh
See the light come shrining down
This ground here is holy ground
Angel, light the candle now
Take off your pretty dress
Let the incense fill the air
Flesh and spirit coalesce
Take me in your warm embrace
Belly to belly and face to face
You are my religion
Let’s worship in this place
Sex can be a sacrament
A kiss can be an act of grace
A touch can be a miracle
A bed can be a holy place
Here’s the church, here’s the steeple
Open the doors and walk down the aisle
Look into the temple of her eyes
Kneel down at the altar of her smile
Worship in this place
Take this heart, it’s yours, my love
Take this soul, it’s yours, my love
Take this body it’s yours, my love
Take this heaven, it’s yours, my love

King Of The World
I can walk on the water
Because I favor my impractical side
I might not look like much
But don’t be fooled by my disguise
When I come by to your house
Your dog begins to howl
But your kitten is rubbing up against my leg
She just seems to know somehow
I’m the cat’s meow
I ain’t saying love is everything
But it’s sure enough to make me king
I ain’it got no money
But I got you, girl
This is the land of milk and honey
And I’m the king of the world
You’re a pretty little time bomb
But I am carrying the news
I’ve got a hundred books of matches
And I’ll use them all if that’s what I takes
To light your fuse
And, honey, once you start in burning
There ain’t nothing you can do
When I look at your sweet face
I know that I can walk right into heaven like I own the place
Only love can make the mountains crumble
Only love can make the stars to fall
Love is the power
Love is the glory
If you got love
You got it all

Drowning In A Wishing Well
I have to take a stand
Pick up a sharp stick and draw a line in the sand
Gotta find out what it means
To be in love and have a dream
I walk with you on a very high wire
Balancing spirit and flesh
Balancing love and desire
My heart cries out for water
But my love for you leads me to a ring of fire
I’m drowning in a wishing well
Drowning in a wishing well
Maybe you pushed me
Maybe I fell
I’m drowning in a wishing well
I bet I’ve walked one million miles
On the razor’s edge of acceptance and denial
And I’m doomed if I don’t give it up to you
But I’ll be loosing something precious
Baby, if I do
Will you burn your bridges?
Will you jump into the river?
If she asks for the keys to the kingdom
Will you stand and deliver?
Forsaking everything
Your heart and your soul and your flesh and your blood
Will you do something you hate for somebody you love?
I wish I had the gift of second sight
I wish that I could rage against the dying of the light
I wish that I could know
I wish that I could tell
If my love for you is leading me up into heaven
Or down into hell
