Remember once I told you about how before I heard it from your mouth
My name would always hit my ears, it's such an awful sound
And the soul, if that's what you call it, uneasy ally of the body
It felt nameless as a river undiscovered underground
And the first time that you kissed me, I drank dry the river Lethe
The lippy would have been softer, oh my stomach all the same
But you spoke some quick new music that went so far
Might have soothed the soul as it was and never shall be
On earth without a name
Some part of me must have died
The first time that you called me baby
Some part of me came alive
The first time that you called me baby
These days I think I owe my life
The flowers that were left here by my mother
And ain't that like them, gifting life to you again
This life lived mostly underground
Unknowing either sight nor sound
To reach in a person like, just to be ripped out by the stem
And since it only now it's dying
Drying me out, it's dying me out
Then drowning blindly
Blooming forth its every color
In the moments it has left
To shatter space with simple living things
Infinitely suffering but fighting off like all creation
The absence of itself
But anyway
Some part of me must have died
Each time that you called me baby
But some part of me stayed alive
But some part of me stayed alive
Each time that you called
Each time that you called
Come here ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la
Whatever keeps you around
It keeps you around
Ooh-la-la
Come here ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la
Whatever keeps you around
It keeps you around
The last time it was heard out loud
The perfect genius of our hands and mouths
Were shocked to resignation
As the arguing declined
When I was young I used to guess
Are there limits to any emptiness
When was the last time?
Come here to me
When was the last time?
Some part of me must have died
The final time you called me baby
But some part of me came alive
The final time you called me baby
When was the last time?
