Amphibious, Androgynous Lyrics by Jenny Hval

Innocence Is Kinky

2013

[Intro]
In my dream, you are slippery
My interest grows immediately
You have seaweed between your fingers
Lips, and legs
Amphibious, androgynous
Amphibious, ninety-eight percent water
[Verse 1]
I try to write love songs
But my words remain in my hands
And my hands fall to the floor
Somewhere in the distance, something hurts
[Verse 2]
I dream I have a lover made out of twigs
I snap his legs and snap his lips when we kiss
He has your hair
[Refrain 1]
The way it curls
This worries me
The dream doesn't fade
It keeps worrying me
[Verse 3]
I try not to hurt you, but in my dream
The twigs keep breaking
I touch so gently, but they snap
And when you open your mouth
[Refrain 2]
To speak
You make no sound
Silently coughing up black sap
[Verse 4]
In real life, I haven't even seen you up close
Only from below
In the dream, you are silent, and I am the headsman
I try to write love songs
[Refrain 3]
But with every word
I can hear the twigs breaking
Somewhere in the distance, something hurts
[Outro]
The next day, it is I who break
It's a clear spring day, and I fill with sky
Ninety-eight percent blue
That day, I find myself downing black things
Coffee, raisins, raw chocolate
I can feel my bones burn to coal
My blood burns to oil, black sap
I'm becoming you
