[Maxi Jazz]

Deep in the shadows of your deepest secrets

I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear

Your heart is in my province hour upon hour

I shiver when you feel the cold,

Everything you say I hear



Like a bomb and its fuse,

We bring bright light

But I could be a devil to you

I could bite like a tarantula

Right through the skin

And leave my poison dripping

Deliciously unsuspecting

Protecting you from all harm

Except perhaps from these arms

That hold you
