[Verse 1] Red curtain breathing in the heat Gold cable running to the floor I see your shadow through the smoke Like I have known your shape before Black mirror hanging by the bar My old face shining in the glass You touch the air around my wrist And every century comes back [Pre-Chorus] I was velvet, I was fire I was light behind a screen But tonight I want the body Not the myth of being seen Come closer to the music Come darker than the dream Don’t bring me your confession, baby Bring your sex to me [Chorus] Bring your sex to me Bring your heat, bring your hunger Bring the part you hide underneath Bring your sex to me In the dark, in the shimmer Where the ghosts know how to breathe I don’t need a holy promise I don’t need eternity Just your hands in the neon Bring your sex to me [Verse 2] The bassline moves like an old lover Slow and wicked through my spine The strings are dressed in silver dust The drums keep counting borrowed time I wore the crown, I wore the wound I wore the gold until it hurt But you look at me like I am flesh Not history in a skirt [Pre-Chorus] I was sainted, I was studied I was polished into stone But tonight I want the fever Of not being alone Come closer to the mirror Come reckless, come unseen Don’t bring me your permission, baby Bring your sex to me [Chorus] Bring your sex to me Bring your heat, bring your hunger Bring the part you hide underneath Bring your sex to me In the dark, in the shimmer Where the ghosts know how to breathe I don’t need a holy promise I don’t need eternity Just your hands in the neon Bring your sex to me [Post-Chorus] Velvet on the wire Fire on the beat Gold around your shadow Moving into me Velvet on the wire Body to the dream If you want the woman Bring your sex to me [Verse 3] There’s a club beneath the memory There’s a room behind the fame Every version of myself tonight Is dancing without shame The folk girl takes the diva’s hand The mother lets the lover speak The golden woman closes her eyes And feels the future at her feet [Bridge] Whisper it lower I’ll hear it better Say it in silence Say it in leather Not as a secret Not as a sin Bring me the weather Under your skin I have been worshipped I have been framed I have been touched But not always named Tonight I am asking Plain as can be Bring me your wanting Bring your sex to me [Breakdown — whispered] Bring your sex to me Bring your sex to me No saints in the room No prayer but the beat Bring your sex to me Bring your sex to me Velvet in the wires Gold under the heat [Final Chorus] Bring your sex to me Bring your heat, bring your hunger Bring the part you hide underneath Bring your sex to me In the dark, in the shimmer Where the ghosts know how to breathe I don’t need a holy promise I don’t need eternity Just your hands in the neon Bring your sex to me [Final Post-Chorus] Velvet on the wire Fire on the beat Gold around your shadow Moving into me Velvet on the wire Body to the dream If you want the woman Bring your sex to me [Outro] The curtains catch the neon The mirror lets us leave I was golden, I was history Now I’m breathing underneath Bring your sex to me Bring your sex to me Bring your sex to me And I’ll bring the woman back to me.
