lyrics
I want to stop thinking of love,
dreaming of love, defining love.
i want to feel the earth below me
. . . ravish me.
given: the waterfall, the illuminating gas.
the bachelors: suitors at my call.
i used to dream of love as a machine;
myself as the motor, erotic energy.
i’m ready to experience this love,
to look beyond this glass, leave concept for reality.
i want to feel the water immerse me
. . . consuming me.
i want to leave behind this lauded virginity,
to experience love, to be taken by love.
i want to feel the sunlight upon me
. . . overpower me.
given: the waterfall, the illuminating gas.
the cinematic blossoming: halo of the bride.
i use to diagram love as a machine;
myself as the motor, erotic energy.
given: the waterfall, the illuminating gas.
the bachelors: suitors at my call.
i used to dream of love as a machine;
myself as the motor, erotic energy.
given: the waterfall, the illuminating gas.
the cinematic blossoming: halo of the bride.
i use to diagram love as a machine;
myself as the motor, erotic energy.

The whole album is a favourite. One of the first Projekt albums I bought and I nearly wore the cd out. I have had it several times in several formats but nice relocating to the UK, I've been without it. So glad to have it back. Grateful it's still available.
