lyrics

oh, virginia
i wanted your children
but the blackness
of my lungs
and my heart

kept me wheezing
a lovelorn spirit
lingers on
like a light
in the dark

oh, california
my lust turns to kindling
my palace
of fakers
of hot, boiling dust

and oh, texas
in aquamarine
deep muck
all exalted
we’ll never be clean

and oh, virginia
you’ll still be the first
with last
humble breath
erotic with thirst

i’ll dream
dreams of wonder
of hope and of light
and oh, virginia
i’ll make you my wife
