Tighten up the tourniquet, and

Every vein is a hieroglyph

Just waiting to be deciphered

You just gotta brush off the skin

My body is Egypt, everything hidden

Deep, so that you can learn

Decode my secret language, and

You'll find me at a tranquil tryst

Note sent, written on papyrus:

"Tonight, come meet me at the Nile"

My body is divine, nihilistic bride

Cleopatra for a while

You're showing up at dusk

"Followed the clues, I trust"

Oh, Antony, just initiate a touch

You've yearned to see me blush

Seeing it's not enough

Oh, Antony, it's more than just a crush

Oh, Antony, I can tell that you're in love with me

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxPzZTBHKW

Read between the lines a bit, and

Plagues, you'll know there are eleven

Tony, please, just don't tell Moses;

Well, I don't think he'll handle it

This one is just for you, comes outta the blue

When I say, "I love you"

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG9hO74SEj

Coming over at dusk

"Read the Bible, I trust"

Oh, Antony, just initiate a touch

You've yearned to see me blush

Seeing it's not enough

Oh, Antony, it's more than just a crush

Oh, Antony, I can tell that you're in love with me

And you're leaving at dawn

"Without you, I am lost"

Oh, Antony, I don't know where I'm from

I've yearned to see you blush

And perhaps way too much

Oh, Antony, it's more than just a crush

Oh, Antony, I can tell that I'm in love with thee

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkYHKtoaJg

My insecurities I carve onto the walls

Read the writing, I've been chipping on all fours

Plastered up, 'cause you're my remedy and my cure

Antony, my heart belongs to you, it's yours

I know who built the pyramids, so be in awe

'Cause our resting place is right there at the core

If I die, you'll be mummified; wrapped up, white, pure

Antony, my chiseled being's yours, an eternal gift from the gods

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1byHIabPz

Oh, Antony, just initiate a touch

Oh, Antony, it's more than just a crush

Oh, Antony, I just hope that you're in love with me
