Antony and the Johnsons - Kiss My Name

Kiss my name
Mama in the afterglow
When the grass is green with grow
And my tears have turned to snow

Well, I'm only a child
Born upon a grave
Dancing through the stations
Calling out my name

Kiss my name, kiss my name
Kiss my name, kiss my name

Oh, mama kiss my name
I am trying to be sane
I'm trying to kiss my friends
And when broken, make amends

Oh, kiss my name, the curtains white
The turtle doves embroider light
As I lie, murdered in ground
The rain compacting sodden sound
Of songs I sang the years before
Kiss my name
When it was time to rain
Upon the coal that I became

Won't you kiss my name, oh, mama
Won't you kiss my name, baby
Won't you kiss my name, baby
Kiss my name

Kiss my name, kiss my name
Kiss my name
Oh now, kiss my name
