Cathedral Heat Lyrics by Kristin Hersh

Sky Motel

1999

Arrest the boy
Warm between the eyes
As he jackknifes into winter
Stung like a cutthroat trout
In the cathedral heat
In the cathedral heat
Sick as a dog
Shaking like a leaf
You have to look close
To see what this disease has done to me
Arrest the boy
The hayseed with the song in his heart
As he writhes through the winter
Stung like a cutthroat trout
In the cathedral heat
In the cathedral heat
Sick as a dog
Shaking like a leaf
You have to look close
To see what this disease has done to me
You go whole hog when you like someone
I go apeshit when you forget me
Well, I forget
Well, I forget
Well, I forget
What it's like to be kissing
In the middle of a terrible dream
Well, I forget
What it's like to be kissing
In the middle of a terrible storm
What a terrible thing
To be kissing in the middle of you
To be kissing in the middle of you
To be kissing in the middle of you
