[00:07.41]	Summer pales, like a ghost of stubborn Spring
[00:14.97]
[00:16.27]	This itch, this prayerful longing for heat
[00:23.14]	Belies an angel’s desire to take wing
[00:30.66]	So as you fall, then fall into me sweet
[00:43.86]	Persephone now your poet and guide
[00:47.73]	Night after day after night I’ll complete
[00:54.42]	Your saintly goodness with its darker side
[01:02.21]	As one without the other is naive
[01:10.54]	Past Limbo, to the Second Circle we slide
[01:23.27]
[01:39.85]	When first you whisper that little white lie
[01:43.90]	The gods will laugh
[01:45.65]	The gods will cry
[01:47.77]
[01:55.89]	In this soft circle, Reason’s slave to desire
[02:00.34]	This feels like fun
[02:01.71]	This feels like fire
[02:04.20]
[02:12.03]	These small indiscretions may get lost over time
[02:17.83]	So much like love
[02:18.78]	So much like crime
[02:19.97]
[02:28.56]	As fine fine fabric slipping over your skin
[02:33.43]	This feels like silk
[02:34.48]	This feels like sin
[02:36.49]
[02:52.35]	Like a gentle dirty dream
[02:54.73]	Like a room where you can hide
[02:56.85]	Like confession in your sleep
[02:59.24]	Like expression sanctified
[03:01.56]	Like a devil, like a friend
[03:03.82]	Like a doctor who can end your pain
[03:10.77]	Like a pillow, like a kiss
[03:13.16]	Like a party, like a pill
[03:15.41]	Like a priest my lovely lips
[03:17.84]	As redemption will fulfill
[03:20.23]	Every spectral midnight fantasy
[03:23.62]
[03:25.27]	Each and every d*mning desire to be
[03:33.43]	Complicit with me
[03:40.45]
[04:45.43]	And as I leave you softly under the stars
[04:49.46]	Without a scratch
[04:52.01]	Without a scar
[04:53.65]
[05:01.68]	Like hell on earth slipping under your skin
[05:05.88]	This feels like love
[05:07.56]	This feels like sin
[05:09.62]	――end――*
