Florence + the Machine Witch Dance

Open my legs, lied down with death We kissed, we sire, we sweat His black baby mouth stains my night gown I clean clothes Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life I twist, I fight The foxes shatter in the night Show me the way This feeling leaves the ick, the kick, the need Show me the way This feeling leaves the ick, the kick, the need A shimmering landscape And widen my eyes, can't keep all this beauty Forever inside? I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town Went through rain, went through fog Taking clumps of issue, cats and dogs, and things that cannot speak Ran to the ancestral plane But they all showed drunk and insane When I asked what I could offer them They said, "Gin and tonic or [?]" They asked, "Which way should I go?" those cigarette-smoke faced child How would we know? Show me the way This feeling leaves the ick, the kick, the need Show me the way This feeling leaves the ick, the kick, the need 'Cause I'm beyond reason The way in the stage A stranger came to my door I welcomed him there My freedom, I need it I cannot stop, I am many, many miles Yet to cross I came to a clearing Full of wane and peeling A well of tears that never runs dry When it's said, we been waiting Waiting to meet you, it's only a matter of time Thrust my fists in the ground And the Earth made a morning sound (Oh, oh) I could feel something shudder Deeper and deeper down And I met every monster form the bar to Broadway And all their violent offers, I just turned them down And your threats and your promises didn't scare me After all, there's no better, more monstrous than me (Woo) Than me
