Fitness to Purpose Lyrics by Nitzer Ebb

That Total Age

1987

In the battle, in the bed
In the battle, in the bed

The pair is in heat, the heat
The pair is in heat, the heat
The heat of flesh
The heat of flesh

And the mark
Of your nails
And the salt
On your lips

The mark
Of your nails
The salt
The mark
On your lips
Of your nails
The salt
On your lips

They came between us
They came between us

Well this flame is on
And the bodies flow
And the bodies twist
While the light is on

In the battle, in the bed
In the battle, in the bed

The pair is in heat, the heat
The pair is in heat, the heat
The heat of flesh
The heat of flesh

And your head
Flies back
Your head
Flies back
To the pillow
To the heat

Your head
Flies back
Your head
Flies back
To the heat
To the pillow
To the pillow
To the heat
To ecstasy
To ecstasy
Ecstasy, the battleground
Ecstasy, the battleground

In the battle, in the bed
In the battle, in the bed

The pair is in heat, the heat
The pair is in heat, the heat
The heat of flesh
The heat of flesh

And the mark
And the salt
Of your nails
On your lips

The mark
Of your nails
The salt
On your lips
The mark

Of your nails
The salt
On your lips

They came between us
And the bodies flow
They came between us

Well this flame is on
And the bodies twist
The light is on

And your head
Flies back
Your head
Flies back
To the pillow, to the heat
To the pillow, to the heat
To ecstasy
To ecstasy
Ecstasy, the battleground
Ecstasy, the battleground
Form
And our foul sounds
And our foul sounds
Form
Battle familiar
From battle familiar
We'll do it again

We'll do it again

In the battle, in the bed
In the battle, in the bed

The pair is in heat, the heat
The pair is in heat, the heat
The heat of flesh
The heat of flesh
And your nails
And your lips
And your flesh
And the heat

Your nails
Your flesh
Your lips
The heat
Your nails
Your lips
The flesh
Your heat
Your nails
Your lips
Your flesh

The heat
In the battle, in the bed

In the battle, in the bed
Do it again
We'll do it again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
