But every now and then I'd swear
You moved in slow degrees
I was never more alive
When we barely could survive
From a taxi passing by
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
You're a Leonard Cohen song
Take over me
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
A Hollywood flat where we'd laugh about our fortunes
Down at 3rd and San Vicente
I was counting all the markers
Under you, I feel your breath move in, out slowly
Or a frame of film melting
Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
A sudden memory
Take over me
Take over me
And California seemed to draw you like a siren
Well we held jobs in this bar
Under you, I feel your breath move in, out slowly
And Ramen noodles at 4:30 in the morning
Take over me
From a postcard, in a letter
I see you standing on a sidewalk, in a restaurant
Under you, I feel your blood flowing out slowly
