Anais Mitchell - Venus
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIRfqEvGsH4"]YouTube- Anais Mitchell - Venus[/ame]
I seen Venus
Venus coming
She come down in a cloud machine
And I believe, I believe she's the
Only woman I ever seen
She come curving
Soft and hard and carved out of marble tall and fair
Her heart is a temple
Lover you better kneel if you ever enter there
She don't need no one
Don't need no one, don't need no one to hold her hand
I just want to see her face again
I want to see her again
Venus laughing, Venus singing
Venus moaning Oh My God
it's like you set the green earth spinning
Like you light the sky above
She opened her mouth and birds flew out
Her love was hovering all around
And my love moved inside of me
A snake waked up in my body
I'm not making, I ain't making, I'm not making
Any kind of plans
I just want to see her face again
And again, I want to see her again
I've seen Venus, Venus leaving
I don't even know what it means
But I believe, I believe that
She's the only woman I ever did see
