The Golden Calf lyrics

As you danced around

The golden calf, your spinning gown

Showed all the hungry boys in town

What they had missed

They thought that you had found

The echoes of that holy sound

Which got it spat into the ground

That he had kissed

Your soul was tearing in a thread,

Was dragged behind you as you fled

Into the shadows of the bed

In which you hid

And as the whispers spread,

Their color darkened to a red,

That stained all you ever said

With what you did

And I met you one night

Through a trick of the light,

A thousand lifetimes ago

And I held your face in my hands and I traced

Every line you never wanted to show

Cause I know

We are the children that never let go

We are the children that never let go

As they poured across

The borders of your dress, they crossed

Into the layer of the frost

Around your name

And everyone of them was lost

Between a hammer and a cross

That you labeled and then tossed

Into the flame

You know, I never meant to try

To teach you anything, but my

Commandments smashed when I collided

With your hips

And who was I to dare

To love you or to interfere

With all the scars that you declared

Across your lips

And I met you one day

Through a crack in the pavement

A thousand silences old

I pulled your chest to my hand and I pressed

Every crest that was covered in snow

Cause I know

We are the children that never let go

We are the children that never let go

We are the children that never let go

I was forced to scavenge

Through the rotting crates and salvage

That was broken down and ravaged

By the sea

And as we stepped outside

We saw the calf and then a tide

Of moonlight hid its golden hide

And it was me
