lyrics

Darling
I used the infrared
And what a light it shed
Painting of the skin

Darling
Every hair you have
The gesture of your legs
Painted on the skin

Greeted with shock, unbounded
An ocean of flesh, surrounded
Made it my task to show it
Little do you know to throw it
Into obscurity
My little divinity
The posture was correct
And corrected I stand

Darling (My Darling)
Throwing on the linen (My Darling)
Once we were beginning (My Darling)
Paintings on the skin

Darling (My Darling)
Attention did it bring (My Darling)
To the Ancestral Sin (My Darling)
This painting of your skin

Greeted with shock, unbounded
An ocean of flesh, surrounded
Made it my task to show it
Little do you know to throw it
Into obscurity
My little divinity
Who did I protect?

With my six inches to your softer side
You said: I’ll take you to the other side
I said: I’ll take you, tease you, taste you, take you further
Yeah, further, yeah, further, yeah

Greeted with shock, unbounded
An ocean of flesh, surrounded
Made it my task to show it
Little do you know to throw it
Into obscurity
My little divinity
The posture was correct
And corrected I stand
Yes, corrected I stand
