Under You

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