Wasp Star (apple Venus Volume 2)

A lie for a lie, but a truth for the truth

Church of women is made out of milk
Which their love turns to butter -er -er
Church of women will have you give praise
With a laugh, bark and stutter -er -er
Like us men like us men they are nothing like us men
Men have gargoyles 'round their hearts
I'm on my knees but dancing

Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning around
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women

Church of women is making donations of loving and giving -ing -ing
Church of women performing that miracle raising the living -ing -ing
Like us men like us men will they ever like us men?
Men have thorns around their minds
I'm on my mountain preaching

Want to worship at the church of women
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning around
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women

Lie for a lie, but a truth for the truth
Give 'em back their house: the walls, the doors, the floors and roof
And stop tryin' to diet on the wafers and wine and submit we're in control
Now let's put things right
Let's multiply the loves and kisses
'til we have enough to love and eat forever

Want to worship at the church of women
I want to worship at the church of women now
Breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning around
I'll breathe 'em in until my head goes spinning 'round
Want to worship at the church
Let me worship at the church of women
Want to worship at the church of women
(repeat x3 and fade)

In my heart, in my heart

You want some lovely, i got some lovely
In my head, in my head
Where the lions wear the right tie,
Where the gems roar, there be lovely

You want some lovely, i got some lovely
In my bed, in my bed
Where the ocean wears the shore down
Where's the on switch?
There be lovely laying waiting naked for you

(chorus)
We can play every day
We can play at being lovers
We can play every day
We can play on my brown guitar

(repeat chorus)

You want some lovely, i got some lovely
In my yard, in my yard
There be inchworm, there we football
Take my yardstick, stir some lovely
Laying waiting naked for you

You want some lovely, i got some lovely
In my field, in my field
There be green grass, there be pink skies
There be blue birds come and nest there

(chorus x 2)

You want some lovely, i got some lovely
In my heart, in my heart for you

I climb up, spending daylight
Slide down drunken on the other side
Some sweet girl, playing my wife,
Runs off with a boy whose bike she'll ride

Playground (it's a playground)
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies in the
Playground (it's a playground)
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world

Bells will ring, door flings open
Hare and greyhound in the old kiss chase
You've been caught, game has ended
Smack on kisser from her slap on face

Playground (it's a playground)
We're marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies in the
Playground (it's a playground)
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world

Watch the leaves all tear away (one by one)
Leaving you but lined like an exercise book
What did your report once say (know the one)
This boy must try harder to please
From down on his knees

Playground, playground, playground, playground, playground,
Playground, playground, playground

Brain gets bent, heart gets broken
You can't jump off once the page is turned
School is out but never over
That's the only lesson you can learn

Playground (it's a playground)
We're marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies in the
Playground (it's a playground)
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square

Playground (it's a playground)
Go for the high jump if you let 'em push you in the
Playground (it's a playground)
There's no escaping, escaping from their big square world

You may leave school, but it never leaves you

And i won't take from you

Don't you know
'bout a zillion years ago
Some star sneezed, now they're paging you in reception
Don't you know
Jack and jill-ion years ago
Some dinosaur dropped the pail when it saw our reflection

Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, i read that someplace
Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, i read that someplace
So you won't mind if i kiss you now
Before indecision can bite
Don't you know in this new dark age
We're all light

Don't you know
At your fingertips arrayed
There's a universe of atoms that thinks you're real something
Don't you know
Just a couple of lips away
There's an revolutionary bean-feast whose insides are jumpin

Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, i read that someplace
Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, it's a bumper sticker someplace
So you won't mind if i kiss you now
We may hear the angels recite
Don't you know in this new dark age
We're all light

And i won't take from you what you can't take from me
And i'll leave nothing here that you can't use upon your trip
And i won't take from you what you can't take from me
And i'll leave nothing here but love and milk a' plenty for your tea

Don't you know
Upon the pillion of time's bike
We roar onto the stage and too soon we're dead center
Don't you know
Buffalo bill-ions raised his sight
He's picking up the whole herd as soon as we enter
So you won't mind if i kiss you now
And maybe come on in for the night
Don't you know in this new dark age
We're all light
We're all light

And i won't take from you
What you can't take from me
And i won't take from you
(you know where you itch, is a little tiny switch, and if you let
Me in, i can show you just the pin, that you put in the slot and the
Element gets hot, and the stuff just pours out)
And i won't take from you
What you can't take from me
(all we're light)
(kiss me now, kiss me now)

And i won't take from you
What you can't take from me
And i won't take from you
What you can't take from me

i've got the plow if you've got the furrow
I've got the rabbit if you've his burrow home
I've got the pen if you've got the paper
Time is but clay and i'll see you and the wheel turn
You and the wheel turn

Chorus:
And if the pot won't hold our love
If the pot won't hold our love
If the pot won't hold our love
Then we'll dash it to the ground
And if the pot won't hold our love
If the pot won't hold our love
If the pot won't hold our love
We'll build one bigger all around
Goes the wheel

I've got the seed if you've got the valley
I've got the big stick if you've aunt sally's head
I've got the time if you've got the motion
Time is but clay and i'll see you and the wheel turn
You and the wheel turn

Chorus

Chorus 2:
Maypole
Maypole
Maypole you've spun me round and knocked me off my axis mundi
Maypole
Maypole
Maypole the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day
And everything decays

Yes, everything decays
Forest tumbles down to make the soil
Planets fall apart
Just to feed the stars and stuff their larders

And what made me think we're any better
And what made me think we'd last forever
Was i so naive?
Of course it all unweaves

Chorus 2

Pyramids and palaces to dust
Empires crumble in
Wedding cake begins to must and molder

And what made me think we're any better
And what made me think we'd last forever
Was i so naive?
Failing to perceive

Maypole (round goes the wheel)
Maypole (round goes the wheel)
Maypole (the ties that bind you will unwind to free me one day)
Maypole (if the pot won't hold our love)
Etc.

Chorus:
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah! what do you think to that?
I'm the man who murdered love
Yeah! what do you think to that?

He was begging on his bended knee
For me to put him from his misery
He hadn't worked at all this century
Said 'i do a job for all humanity'

(repeat chorus)

I put a bullet in his sugar head
He thanked me kindly then he lay down dead
Phony roses blossomed where he bled
Then all the cheering angels shook my hand and said...

(repeat chorus)

Oh! it's the middle of the song!

Oh! yeah! oh! yeah!
I'm guilty! i'm guilty!
I'm guilty! yeah!
And then i turned and said

There'll be more pain from broken hearts
And no more lovers to be torn apart
Before you throw me in your dungeon dark
You oughta film me putting statues up in every park

(repeat chorus)

So dear public, i'm here to confess
That i'm the one who freed us from this mess
Love won't be calling at your address
'cos you've never had you'll never miss, i guess

(repeat chorus)

If you never ever use it
You know you're gonna lose it
If you never ever kiss it
How're you ever gonna miss it?
I'm the man...
