lyrics

She smiles when she eats sushi
She wants to talk about sex
In the cab it's not that easy
In the club it's not that hard
She laughs at the tortured singer
Says he's a Jesus mess
But he's one of my favorite singers
She says he's just repressed
Charming the pants off of Lucy
With all the skill of Camus
Oh, I'm charming the pants off of Lucy
Though I don't know what good it's gonna do me
When I barely can keep the blood beneath my skin

Two too many in the Orbit Room
And we're on the love seat
One more in the Cafe du Nord
And we're hand in glove
Lights dim down to a whisper
Use your imagination
Lights off and I'm uneasy
Lights off and I'm…
Charming the pants off of Lucy
With all the skill of Camus
Oh, I'm charming the pants off of Lucy
Though I don't know what good it's gonna do me
When I barely can keep the blood beneath my skin
On my skin, oh, my skin, on your skin
On your skin, on my skin, all over my skin
On your skin —
When we barely can keep the blood beneath our skin

Arch lovers and pale stars
Play Misty for me
But I know why the wind blows
A sweet song for the lonely
A sweet song for the lonely…
I'm charming the pants off of Lucy
With all the skill of Camus
Oh, I'm charming the pants off of Lucy
Though I don't know what good it's gonna do me
When we barely can keep the blood beneath our skin
On my skin, oh, my skin, on your skin
On your skin, on my skin, all over my skin
On your skin —
When we barely can keep the blood beneath our skin

about

Myself a Living Torch image

Myself a Living Torch San Francisco, California

By turns surreal, beautiful, arch, and melancholic, MaLT’s sonic adventures explore the meaning of love and role of sex in a failing, depersonalized culture. Literate enough for lasting relevance, tuneful enough for disposable pop; dark, sometimes heavy, but always with sly humor and a dash of hope. Active in SF CA between 1991 and 1993 ... Credit Louis-Ferdinand Céline for the incendiary name. ... more
