Skin of the Night

M83 · Saturdays = Youth [2008]

Like a moth she moves to the red light

Her blood warms and boils there

She skims the sweat like a new milk

And pops the buttons off her wet blouse



Oh, Queen of the Night!

Well she is deep inside!

She is haunting me!

All of her soft parts call to me

She could be mine



She digs her nails into her naked chest

Miles of veins fan out like a road map

She pulls back the skin to show her ribs

That twinkle like shooting stars



Oh, Queen of the Night!

Well she is deep inside!

She is haunting me!

All of her soft parts call to me

She could be mine
