Letra Formidable marinade Amanda Palmer

Formidable marinade

I have seen you in the Turkish baths
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
Nakedness has a sweet, sweet smell
Which sends me down to the pits of hell
The steam, that rises form the water
Tells me you're Satan's daughter
If I am the devil's son
Then into the darkness we should run

If sodomy is not just for animals
Human flesh is not just for cannibals
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
Because blood is thicker and redder than wine
Oh, lay ourselves out upon the table
Ravish each other until we're no longer able
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
It'll make a formidable marinade

If I put my hand in Pandora's box
And I was smitten by a deathly pox
If I was a leper or the warts on a toe
Would you think well of me when I go
If I wrote my name with a razorblade
In the palm of your hand, would it still fade?
If I kissed your lips would you think it wrong
Or would you come along with me

If sodomy is not just for animals
Human flesh is not just for cannibals
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
Because blood is thicker and redder than wine
Oh, lay ourselves out upon the table
Ravish each other until we're no longer able
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
It'll make a formidable marinade

I'll roast you on the spit like a fatted calf
When you're done I'll split your body in half
Climb into your reddened core
Curl up tight, and close the door
In your body I'll dream of things
Like geese and mustard
Cabbages and kings
Thermos full of chocolate sauce
And men who live on only remorse

If sodomy is not just for animals
Human flesh is not just for cannibals
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
Because blood is thicker and redder than wine
Oh, lay ourselves out upon the table
Ravish each other until we're no longer able
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
It'll make a formidable marinade
