No Venus Moves

[Verse 1]
Put a sign on a singer
In front of a mirror where once her likeness stood
Plumb line from a pistol finger to a temple
Sentimentally shaped like blood

[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbreak rending
Enchained, unending
Little bitty poison
Armageddon, man, it don't look good

[Chorus]
Why not have the heavens play a hand? (Play a hand)
Philosophers'll never understand (Never understand)
Martyrdom hard
A saint approves
Don’t know no Venus moves

[Verse 2]
Gone a round on a pitchfork
Digging up roots like skeletons from the soil
Underground with your shit-talk, mama
I’m-a-skinnin' this snakе
I’m-a-skimmin' off healing oil

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, my lover
Gеt undercover
Little bitty fire got me bringing it to the boil

[Chorus]
Why not have the heavens play a hand? (Play a hand)
The police here never understand (Never understand)
Astrologers royal
With sabre-tooths
Don't know no Venus moves

[Post-Chorus]
Tell it to the stars, Pharaoh

[Verse 3]
All down with an old curse
Hundred years' black water from the well
Downtown, could it be far worse?
The hospital impossible
Darkest hell

[Pre-Chorus]
The choir singing on
Myself, I'm clinging on a little bitty spire
Come and kick it till it rings the bell

[Chorus]
I wanna have the heavens play a hand (Play a hand)
There's no one else on earth could understand (Never understand)
Little boy lost to angel grooves
Don't know no Venus moves
