Will you shuck the oyster from its shell?
To find my naked iridescent wishing well
That shimmers like the mirrors on a carousel
And you go round and round as if you never knew hell.

You push back my hair, your face flushed with want
Lined like a roadmap but youu0027re a young gun.
You used to hate squirrels until you killed one.
You know enough to kill, so you know enough to love.

Youu0027re a boy who crawls into a woman
And comes out a man on the other side.
Youu0027re a boy who crawls into a woman
And comes out a man on the other side.

Are the walls of your heart scratched in red graffiti?
How can I love what you wonu0027t show me?
Iu0027m your surgery - thereu0027s no time to rebel,
Like a diver low on air must choose only one shell.

Youu0027re a boy who crawls into a woman
And comes out a man on the other side.
Youu0027re a boy who crawls into a woman
And comes out a man on the other side.

You know I never met a man who didnu0027t bore with what came easy, what came easy.
You know I never met a man who didnu0027t bore with what came easy.

You know Iu0027ve been killed more than once.
Itu0027s why my love comes with the risk of blood.
Like facing a bull but you must not run.
Risk all I risk or itu0027s not enough.
