Lyrics

Venice breeding shiny chimeras of sex and violence
In the purple evening silence, venice dreaming of a partner
Fill your arms with breasts of marble, from the cradle to the table
Coax this naked treasure, from your saviour

Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life

Divine blasphemer tempting, holy beads of jism
With a scarlet catechism, her lips will answer
(Ah, her lips will answer)

How to be, the perfect stranger, the perfect lover - wanting
And as you'll discover - giving, and as you'll discover - being

Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life
Enter this sublime corrosion
Venice drowning in emotion

-

(The body stirs, and is reanimated, only briefly
But then life is very brief)

(Come swim into my life)
(Come swim into my life)
(Ah-ahh ah-ah ah-ah-whoo heyyey)

Venice drowning!
Venice drowning!
Venice drowning!
Venice drowning!
Venice drowning!
Venice drowning! (slowly disappearing..)
Venice drowning! (slowly disappearing..)
Venice drowning! (slowly disappearing..)
Venice drowning!.... (slowly disappearing..)
