Hurt Me

Intro: Oh love is that a vulture don’t tell me it’s a vulture standing beside you. And do you see your own face in his eyes? Do you see him like I do? Oh It used to be that when you said you believed it I would believe it too It used to be that when you said you were leaving I'd want to follow you But never where the dogs bark, never where the dogs bark and I remember, praying at the dinner table For you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able. Now I've a dream of you with half a face and you take me to a rooftop and skin me Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me? And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark When the shadow of the moon won't do 'cause on you, the moon is but a pearl Stolen from your mother's bedside the day you came into the world still now, i can hear the dogs bark, i can hear the dogs bark and i remember, praying at the dinner table for you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able oh whole cities light up, but nothing can compare to you, baby so I stay awake, laying on the dinner table waiting for you to hurt me, come on Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me come down to the world hurt me, come on Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me 'round the table. and now it's laying on the table waiting for you, on the table to carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed and sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before and that's the body, i swear that's the body i remember, it was laying on the dinner table and when you came around, said you'll be doing fine when you're able oh whole cities light up but nothing can compare to you, baby so I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table. oh hurt me, hurt me, hurt me oh cut me, cut me, serve me
