The Darkest Childe Lyrics by Sophie B Hawkins

The Darkest Childe Lyrics

    you can do it baby you know you can do it baby
    you were always the darkest childe
    making all the grown ups sweat
    driving both your parents to distraction
    with the sweetness in your head

    you’re the one who raped your superintendent
    on the rooftop tied his hands and feet to the fence
    you sucked his cock and fucked the man immobile
    you paid your daddy’s rent

    you are the darkest childe
    you spread your angel wings
    and fly through the night into the dreams of ancient ruins
    and make them sing

    lost lover shameless girl
    bury me in your sultry curls
    i’m in the wilderness alone
    let me kiss you until the dawn
    let me put your wilde things on
    i’ve been howling in the fog so long

    you are the darkest childe
    you have a sacred duty to perform upon this blessed earth
    you must cradle those thoughts of the lustful lonely
    inside your wicked warmth
    and you must
    get off

    you are the darkest childe
    and evil will never stop you
    and people will mock you and try
    to pop pop pop you into the market place where you cannot be bought
    understood you will be missed
    there will be sadness
    for the darkest childe

    so long

    so long to the darkest childe
    waiting in patient anguish
    for the scent of someone’s wilderness
    to howl against the smog screen
    of accolade smoothies
    goose bump burgers and christ like fries
    how long can this world keep fucking itself up the ass
    wonders never cease
    how long would it have to be
    anyway

    long enough to cause hysteria
    wide enough to cause great pain
    i am in the wilderness alone

    oh god

    let me kiss you until the dawn
    let me put your wilde things on
    i’ve been howling in the fog so long
