Still Clean

In the summer

You said you loved me like an animal

Stayed beside me

Just enough to keep your belly full

Then you took me down to the water, got your mouth all clean

Left me drowning, once you picked me out your bloody teeth

Spent the autumn

In the forest hunting for a wolf

Tried to find you

Stopped my searching when the nights grew cold

Dreamt I saw you

Down by the water with your mouth still clean

You were searching, I came to you and you said to me

That I'm not

Only what you wanted for a little while

Only what you wanted for a little while

Only what you wanted for a little while

Yeah, only what you wanted for a little while

Through the winter

I was shuttered in between my sheets

Checked the window, just to see if you'd come back to me

The spring was coming, I saw you running down to the creek

The ring finger fell to the water from your bloody teeth

I guess I'm

Only what you wanted for a little while

Only what you wanted for a little while

Only what you wanted for a little while

Yeah, only what you wanted for a little while
