Antony & The Johnsons Kiss My Name Lyrics

Kiss my name
Mama in the afterglow
When the grass is green with grow
And my tears have turned to snow

I’m only a child
Born upon a grave
Dancing through the stations
Calling out my name

Oh mama kiss my name
I am trying to be sane
I’m trying to kiss my friends And when broken, make amends

Kiss my name, the curtains white
The turtle doves embroider light
As I lie, murdered in ground
The rain compacting sodden sound
Of songs I sang the years before
When it was time to rain
Upon the coal that I became
