Lyrics[]
Venice breeding Shy chimeras of sex and violence In the purple evening silence Venice dreaming of a partner Fill your arms with breasts of marble From the cradle to the table Coax this naked treasure From your saviour Come swim into my love Come swim into my life Divine blasphemer Tempting holy beads of jism With the scarlet catechism Her lips will answer (Oh, her lips will answer) How to be The perfect stranger The perfect lover Wanting And as you'll discover Giving And as you'll discover Being Come swim into my love Come swim into my life Enter the sublime corrosion Venice drowning in emotion The body stirs And is reanimated Only briefly But then life is very brief (Come swim into my love) (Come swim into my life) Venice drowning Venice drowning (Slowly disappearing) (Slowly disappearing) Venice drowning...
