The Triffids - Blackeyed Susan lyrics

You my backdoor blackeyed susan You my ship adrift You my compa** spinning dervish Saint with broken teeth You my drowning altar boy You my thistle child You my fallen Irish wake Our appetites entwined Dissolve so I may love you Lie beside me, lie beside me Lie beside me on the ground You my cheap spent penny token Useless currency You my swinging plastic jesus My star upon the sea You and your bare shoulders I have to hold them just to stop you, just to stop you From coming apart You my backdoor blackeyed susan You my driving blind Now you lay me down to sleep Goodnight my love goodbye Dissolve so I may love you Lie beside me, lie beside me Lie beside me, lie beside me For a while
