Stain my soul with your love
With the blood of your love
Stain my soul purple with the blood of your love
There's ancient hungers howling inside me
like nighttime tiger gifts with fading stripes
There's distance ringing deep inside my ears
like feeling around for mousetraps in the dark
Can I shiver with you?
Open up your arms and let me in
Let me pollinate that sleepy blossom you keep hidden in your heart
Open up your dreams and take me in
The Angel candles won't keep us warm enough
and I can never hold you close enough
but maybe together we can shiver enough
to stain my soul with your love
Can I shiver with you?
Stain my soul with your love
With the blood of your love
Stain my soul purple with the blood of your love

They say he's counseled kings and led great empires to ruin.
Leaving pregnant mothers dry and shriveled, he feeds on unborn children.
They call him the king of clattering scarecrows and the lord of abandoned graveyards.
They say his bones are living blackbirds and his eyes are ancient scarabs.
They say he has a thousand names in a hundred forgotten tongues.
And if you feel his breath upon your neck, it's far too late to run.
He watched them build the pyramids and laughed as towers fell.
He is the tattered bone-mage and he'll drag your soul to Hell.

When you're on the street...
When you're walking...
When you are walking,
You see a bench to sit on
And you're very tired
So you just take a break.
And then you see someone who says
"Hey! Are you lost, little girl?
If you are, you can be with me.
I don't care because I don't have a little girl.
And you can be my kid forever."

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois
Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
Mayhem Lettuce recommends:

Fellow Quad City natives, Pitch Black Manor is the greatest goth band of all time. It says so right in their bio.
