The Beggar Lover (Three) Lyrics
The Beggar Lover (Three) by Swans
Slowly, it's taking me over and eventually I'll be completely transformed: diffused in the earth, or incinerated and vaporized. It's in the food I eat, in the air I breathe. It's in the people I love and they frighten me. I can see a black shadow shimmering just beneath their skin. Despite my love for them, there's nothing I can do for them, nor is there anything they can do for themselves. It's slowly approaching, relentless. Its appetite is endless and will never be filled.
[Michael Gira:]
Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepies, close your eyes
Close your eyes
I can see it, but not see it
I can feel it, but not keep it
I can touch it, but not hold it
I can be it, but not know it
I can reach it, but won't touch it
I can tame it, but release it
I unfold it, but won't see it
I can breathe it, but not taste it
I will lose it, but I'll keep it
In the shadow, in the light pool
In the reason for our being
I won't touch it, I won't hold it
I can be it, but not feel it
I can steal it, but not keep it
I can break it, but not heal it
I can see it, but not see it
I can feel it, but not keep it
I can touch it, but not hold it
I can be it, but not know it
I can reach it, but won't touch it
I can tame it, but release it
I unfold it
