Your Joy Is My Low

Iamx · Kiss And Swallow [2004]

He takes your face and positions it to take your mouth

You bite, you bite to excite yourself

He wants the colour of you to wear and feel alive

And you bite, and I'm awake and I'm the slave tonight



You lie, you lie to spare my life

You needed it, he tasted you inside out

So, your joy, your joy is my low

- So you want yourself to stop

So, your joy, your joy is my low

- And when you can't, ??



You shift the play, push the curve to sit between your thighs

It's a sign, it's time to exercise the lines

You want the double cut through to wet, invade and slide

You slide and I'm awake and I'm the slave tonight



You lie, you lie to spare my life

you needed it, he tasted you inside out



Say it, your joy, your joy is my low

- So you want yourself to stop

Said, your joy, your joy is my low

- And when you can't, ??



Say it, your joy, your joy is my low

- So you want yourself to stop

Said, your joy, your joy is my low

Your joy is my low



- Want yourself to stop



So, your joy, your joy is my low

- So you want yourself to stop

Said, your joy, your joy is my low

- And when you can't, ??



Say it, your joy, your joy is my low

- So you want yourself to stop

Said, your joy, your joy is my low

Your joy is my low
