Hurt Me

Oh, love, is that a vulture? Don't tell me it's a vulture
Standing beside you
And do you see your own face in his eyes?
Do you see him like I do? Oh

It used to be that when you said you believed it, I would believe it too
It used to be that when you said you were leaving, I'd want to follow you

But never where the dog barks, never where the dogs barks, oh

But I remember, praying at the dinner table
For you to come around
Maybe pat me on the back when you're able

Now I've a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop
And skin me, come on Abel, are you going to skin me?

And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark, whoa
When the shadow of the moon won't do?

Cause on you, the moon is but a pearl
Stolen from your mother's bedside
The day you came in to the world

Still now I can hear the dogs bark, I can hear the dogs bark, oh

And I remember, praying at the dinner table
For you to come around
Maybe pat me on the back when you're able
oh, whole cities light up, nothing can compare to you baby
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table
Waiting for you to hurt me, come on Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt, come down to the world
Hurt me, come on Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me round the table

And now it's laying on the table
Waiting for you, on the table
To carve it up, and watch the spray go across the river-bed
And sweet aromas filled the halls
From all the bodies that came before
And that's the body, I swear that's the body

I remember, I was laying on the dinner table
And when you came round, said you you'll be doing fine when you're able
Oh, whole cities light up, but compare to you baby
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table

Oh, hurt me, hurt, hurt me
Oh, cut me, cut me, serve me
Oh
Oh
