Benediction

Thurston Moore

With benediction in her eyes
Our dearest gods are not surprised
You better hold your lover down
Tie him to the ground
Whisper "I love you,"
One thousand times into his ear, kiss his eyes
And don't you cry girl, he won't disappear
But I know better than to let you go

With benediction in her mind
She'll never get you back in time
You better hold your lover down
And tie her to the ground.
Simple pleasures strike like lighting
Scratches spell her name

Thunder demons swipe her halo
And then they run away
But I know better than to let her go

With benediction in her eyes
Our dearest gods are not surprised
You better hold your lover down
And tie her to the ground
Simple pleasures strike like lightening
Scratches cross her name
Whisper "I love you my darling, life is just a fling"
But I know better than to let her go

I know better that to let you go
I know better than to her go
I know better than to let you go

I know better
I know better
I know better
