Righthand Heart

歌詞

I meet this girl with a righthand heart I notice nothing until we start to kiss And my hand goes beneath her dress To the lefthand breast Downstairs the party's going full swing The people we came with haven't noticed a thing As I tease the teat with my teeth I feel nothing underneath She puts my ear across her chest Rests my head against the righthand breast Sure enough her heart is there Loud and clear Beat, beating, beating on The right side of oblivion Beat, beating, beating on The wrong side of her body And though I know there's nothing dangerous in it I'm feeling queasy, getting worse by the minute Wondering how to escape this nightmare When up the stair Comes this boy with no heart at all Him and her they make the perfect couple Him so blind in his rapacity That he doesn't even see it Beat, beating, beating on The right side of oblivion Beat, beating, beating on The wrong side of her body And as I contemplate this mating of rapacity and sickness Of which I am the fascinated, unwilling witness I see he couldn't care where her heart might be And I say "what the hell is wrong with me? Am I just too pure and too proud?" And as the bed creaks I ask myself aloud "Could it be that what makes me a freak Is my contempt for freaks?" I start to sweat, I feel it approach Familiar self-hate, familiar self-reproach And under my guard again it beats so hard My righthand heart Beat, beating, beating on The right side of oblivion Beat, beating, beating on The wrong side of my body Beat, beating, beating on The right side of oblivion Beat, beating, beating on
