The Roches Follow

I wanted to take your face in my hands
And kiss you on the mouth at the funeral
There was a quake in the place where love demands to be noticed
And found out making you beautiful

I turned myself away from you in shame
Wanting these sensations to go back from where they came
When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze
She said sex is the opposite of death

It's alright child it's natural it's wild
It's just the life force and you can use it
You won't abuse it Enjoy yourself she said
Take my husband to bed

I couldn't keep my mind on the preacher
Standing by the casket, where she lay
I couldn't weep entwined like some creature
With a wish and I ask it, please go away

Shock and grief follow death
And I feel guilty that I still draw breath
When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze
She said sex is the opposite of death

It's the rule it's natural stay cool
It's just the life force you gotta love it
You're not above it enjoy yourself she said
Take my husband to bed
