Wooden Floor - Nikki Sudden

They painted crosses on the doorways

To protect the life within

As death pulled back the shutters

To save the World from sin

I’ll write your name in lipstick

Along the valley of the dead

And you, you just sit there

And unstitch your sister’s threads.

I wanna dress you and undress you

Upon this wooden floor

I wanna dress you, wanna undress you

And what is more

Oh the rain fell down upon us

It fell around our sacred souls

The pyramids, they never stopped building them

They carved their faces in the gold

I’ve lived, lived a life that’s blameless

I’ve been cursed and then condemned

All the way, all the way from Jerusalem

All the way to Bethlehem.

I wanna dress you and undress you

All on this wooden floor

I wanna dress you and undress you

And what is more

You sewed your mother’s dresses

Out of fragments of the sky

And me, when I’m left alone, my dear

I just love to get high.

I wanna dress you, I wanna undress you

Across this wooden floor

I wanna dress you

Wanna dress you up

Dress you up

Oh and more

I wanna dress you, I wanna dress you

Wanna dress you down

I wanna dress you

And then believe me

We can take on the whole damn town.

Just think about it, darling

Just remember, just remember

That I’m not too blame.

There’s no one left alive

There’s no one left alive

I’m sure you all

All remember my name.
