Master Song

(If we could all gather around

Make love to me, girl

He took you up in his aeroplane

Master song

I'm the master

Can I rap?

Go ahead)

I believe that you heard your master sing when I was sick in bed

I suppose he told you everything that I keep locked in my head

Your master took you travelling, well at least that's what he said

And now do you come back to bring your prisoner wine and bread?

You met him at some temple where they take your clothes at the door

He was just a numberless man in a chair who'd just come back from the war

And you wrap up his tired face in your hair and his hand on the apple core

Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare of all the kisses from some time before

And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk with a collar of leather and nails

And he never once made you explain or talk about all of the little details

Such as who had a word and who had a rock and who had you through the mails

Now your love is a secret all over the block and it never stops, even when your master fails

And he took you up in his aeroplane which he flew without any hands

And you cruised above the ribbons of rain that drove the crowd from the stands

Then he killed the lights in a lonely lane and an ape with angel glands

Erased the final wisps of pain with the music of rubber bands

It's the master, master, master song

Motherfuckin' master song, yea

I was playing my guitar

And now I hear your master sing, you kneel for him to come

His body is a golden string that your body is hanging from

His body is a golden string, my body has grown numb

And now you hear your master sing, your shirt is all undone

Dang! One more time

And will you kneel beside this bed that we polished so long ago

Before your master chose instead to make make that bed of snow?

Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red and you're speaking far too low

Now I can't make out what your master said before he had to go

It's the master song

Master, master, master, it's the master song

Master, master, master, it's the master song

It's the motherfuckin' master song

Motherfuckin' master song

Go go go go

SONG!

Then I think you're playing far too rough for a lady who's been to the moon

I've laid by this window long enough, now I live in an empty room

And your love is some dust in an old man's cough who is tapping his foot to a tune (to a tune!)

And your thighs are a ruin, you want too much, let's say 'come back soon'

Come back later!

Wake me up before you go go

Master master motherfuckin' master song

Master master it's the motherfuckin' master song

Master

I loved your master perfectly, I taught him all that he knew

He was starving in some deep mystery like a man who is sure what is true

And I sent you to him with my guarantee I could teach him something new

And I taught him how you would long for me, no matter what

He said no matter what you do

Say what?

I believe that you heard your master sing while I was sick in bed

I'm sure that he told you everything I must keep locked away in my head

Your master took you traveling, well at least that's what you said

And now do you come back to bring your prisoner wine and bread?

Gimme some bread

Gimme some bread

Gimme some bread

So loooong, Marianne

Master

Hey

That's no way

To say goodbye

Master master, it's the motherfuckin' master song

Master master, it's the motherfuckin' master song

Fuck that

Master master, it's the motherfuckin' master song

Hook me up

Waaaaahhh

Get some autotune!

Waaaaaa

Haha

That sounds good!

Fish fillets

Fish fillets!

Come back

Bring that beat back in

Don't go
