First time that I saw you
   You were standing in the hall
   You said you knew everything
   But I knew you knew fuck all
   There were tremors in your cheekbones
   There was longing in your eyes
   But I thought I smelt a nameless fear
   Buried in your thighs
   You crucified me
  
   Do you see
   That you crucify me
  
   I crouched down in the hallway
   You huddled on the step
   There were shadows in the alcove
   We were way out of our depth
   There was thunder in the hallway
   There was lightning at the gate
   Electric storms flashed through the walls
   In fixed and fluid states
   And crucified me
  
   Do you see
   That you crucify me
  
   Now and then I call your name
   And now and then it's clear
   Baby you can call in vain
   Even though you're near
   You were cloaked in your depression
   Like a widow in her veils
   How could we begin to think
   That we could ever fail
   You crucified me
  
   Do you see
   That you crucify me
  
   First time that I saw you
   You were standing 'gainst the wall
   You swore I knew everything
   But you knew I knew fuck all.
