Antony and the Johnsons

Kiss my name

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
