Morito Songtext

von Michael John LaChiusa

Tonight I kiss my lover for the last time
I go to her at midnight, slipping past the gate
Floating to her bed
I'll let her hands caress me for the last time
I knife into her body
Forcibly and proud
She says that I'm incredibly endowed
Thicker than her husband

And as I kiss my lover for the last time
The world dissolves around me
I desert my body
All of time is gone
Dusk is dawn
Dawn is noon
Late is now
Now is soon
This is what it's like... to be GOD!

I watch myself outside myself
Sleep and breathe and wake and cry
Sweat and shit and screw and lie
My god, it's hell to be God!

Watching from a distance
I neither laugh nor cry
As the flood gates are opened
And the innocent die
A lie becomes the truth
And the truth becomes a lie
Lie... lie

Tonight I kiss my lover for the last time
She'll feel my hands about her
Tight around her throat
I'll end my lover's life
And I'll return to my body
To my bones, to my skin

What I've set in motion
Cannot be reversed
Time will begin...
Time... time... time!
