A string of pearls.
Pagan Poetry , by Björk From album Vespertine, 2001. amazon
This song is erotic in a poetic way.
Pedalling through the dark currents I find an accurate copy a blueprint of the pleasure in me Swirling black lilies totally ripe A secret code carved : a secret code carved Swirling black lilies totally ripe He offers a handshake crooked five fingers they form a pattern yet to be matched Swirling black lilies totally ripe On the surface simplicity but the darkest pit in me is pagan poetry pagan poetry Swirling black lilies totally ripe Morse : coded : signals they pulsate : they wake me up from my hibernate On the surface simplicity but the darkest pit in me is pagan poetry pagan poetry I love him This time : I'm gonna keep me to myself This time : I'm gonna keep my all to myself She loves him But he makes me want to hand myself over She loves him
