No Rest lyrics

I used to be a king alone,
Like Solomon, or Rehoboam.
And in the eaves the Corvidae
Did, jealous, keep my picture frames
And everything did oxidate in place.

But then you came,
A single cell,
With astrolabe and carousel,
And algebra and symmetry,
And none of this was lost on me.
And I could see how still I'd been before.

If I don't eat I don't sleep at all.

Like limbs in procession,
Like so many birds.
Stampeding like oxen,
Our hearts are a herd.

I loved you in the bed.
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the bed…

Did you see the light in my heart?
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
Did you see the fear in my heart?
Did you see me bleeding it out?

I loved you in the bed
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the bed…
