Venice breeding shy chimeras
Of sex and violence
In the purple evening silence

Venice dreaming of a partner
Fills your hands with breasts of marble
From the cradle to the table

Coax this naked treasure from
Your saviour


Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life


Divine blasphemer tempting
Holy beads of %%&(
With the scarlet catechism

Her lips will answer
(oh, her lips will answer)
How to be ther perfect stranger

The perfect lover wanting
And as you'll discover...giving
And as you'll discover...being


Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life

Enter this sublime corrosion
Venice drowning in emotion


The body stirs and is reanimated
Only briefly--
But then life is very brief


Venice drowning
Venice drowning

Venice drowning
Venice drowning
