Oh, tell me if it's true what I heard
That your skin is covered in honey
There are rumors downtown
They are screaming from rooftops
That your skin is covered in honey

Everyone I know
They speak of you like you're a tabloid
Or maybe that's just what I believe
When I walk down the streets
That they're wishing that they knew what I know
About what it's like to live inside a secret code, a secret code
I can't tell right from wrong now
but I saw the sharpest curve on your upper lip

Oh, tell me if it's true what I heard
That it was brought here by sparrows
Flewn over fields and angels approved it
For they landed on you

Oh, and I am sorry to be talking like this
Oh, with you I can only write the song of Solomon
Oh, you are beautiful, my love, that is every spot in you
And this my love is what's haunting me:
You will never fully be mine to win
'Cause I can never and I shall never rest inside of your skin
And this my love is what's eating me:
We will never really melt into one
And this my love is all that's eating me:
That your skin is covered in honey
That your skin is covered in honey
That your skin is covered in honey
