Bless Me - Moses Sumney

It’s so predictable

To farm the parable

From every tête-à-tête

But when you see the end

In every beginning

Lessons are all you get

Bless me

Before you go

You’re goin' nowhere with me

Met you in the wrestling pit

You came when I needed it

Ah, a body on top of me

To teach me

Stayed up past the witching hour

You showed me your secret powers

I wish that mine

Could freeze time

Bless me

Before you go

You’re goin' nowhere with me

Bless me

Before you go

You’re goin' nowhere with me

Cupid has it out for me

Gave me crooked alchemy

Eros, oh god of flings

Sees the beauty in all things

As stupid’s as stupid does

I grasp your cloak because

Maybe you’ll grant me wings

If I cling

Bless me

Before you go

You’re goin' nowhere with me

Bless me

Before you go

You’re goin' nowhere with me

You must be an angel

Your conscience is clean

Why would you soil yourself

With a monster like me?

If the good lord sent ya

The good lord can take ya back

I hope when he comes for you

You illuminate the path

(Bless me before you go)

(Bless me before you go)

Oh, ooh, ooh

You’re goin' nowhere with me, me

You’re goin' nowhere with me, me

You’re goin' nowhere with me

You’re goin' nowhere with me

Bless me

Before you go

You’re goin' nowhere with me

Bless me

Before you go
