FLESH AND BLOOD

You're flesh and blood
You're skin and bone
You're nail and cartilage
You're muscle and you're tone
You're beating heart
You're straining lungs
You're nervous energy
You're idleness

You're instinct's slave
You're reason's child
You're a playful kitten
You're wilful and you're wild
You're a bleeding gash
You're a healing scar
You're writhing electric lash
You're a tiny little spark

But you're beautiful flesh and blood
And i can't get enough
You're beautiful skin and bone
You're body and your soul

You're platonic thoughts
You're animal lust
You're living poetry
You're ashes and you're dust
You're a howling roar
You're a whispering hush
You're a barren wilderness
You're fertile and you're lush

And you're beautiful flesh and blood
And i can't get enough
You're beautiful skin and bone
You're body and your soul

You are a miracle sent from above
You are the person who teachers me how to love
You are the lode-star, you are the one
You are the warmth of the afternoon sun

You're indiscreet
You're propriety
You're drunk and disorderly
You are sobriety
You're my life support
You're my iron lung
You're as old as the universe
You are so very young

And you're beautiful flesh and blood
And i can't get enough
You're beautiful skin and bone
You're body and your soul
