A mashup of two Talis Kimberley songs on the subject of “Women Who Shape-Shift and the Men Who Love Them.”
Moonlight woke me from my twisting dreamland.
Saw your nightgown lying on the floor.
Felt exhausted as I peered out the window.
Tired, but still craving more.
On the ground beside a gut-spilled carcass
Were human footprints, maybe paw prints too.
You said once that you were “into velvet.”
Now I know why you do what you do:
| Chorus: |
I never thought you were exactly together. Always knew deep down you hungered for thrill. I haven’t slept well in what seems like forever. For I know you have a need to kill. If you hurry, you can still catch some prey, my love. If you hurry, you can still catch some prey. |
Your hunts are always aimed at animal victims.
You’ve never hurt me and you won’t start now.
I know you’ll spare me, kill a deer or a rabbit.
You’ll spare me if the hunger allows.
I can empathize with animal passions.
It’s hunger drives you, neither love nor hate.
You’ll only kill me if you run low on rations.
And anyway, the sex is really great.
(Chorus)
Each moonlit evening now I lie here and watch for you.
I know I’m helpless, lying in our bed.
I don’t dare move because I might draw your attention
The one night that you chance to go unfed.
Then late one night I hear your low growl in the hallway.
I’m filled with terror, but it’s not a shock.
It means that you weren’t able to find food before morning.
For the love of God, it’s not even three o’clock!
| Chorus: |
If you hurry, you can still catch some prey, my love. If you hurry, you can still catch some prey. |
(Chorus)
