Our Common Bitch
Stirrup and People · 1985 · Track 2
It's no trouble that you have a pooch
Since we love each other
Which means your pooch is my pooch too!
Kill the power to the lamp. Midnight strikes again,
And that means I am ready to come to you
As soon as the lights go out, my powerful silhouette
Flashes between the walls and cabinets.
Open the door for me, I'll kiss you right from the threshold
And I will greet your body
Let me identify it, let my lips touch it
Your fingers and the tips of your lovely nails.
At the intersection of interests, born in a struggle
Is the art of combining openings.
You will gift yourself to me, and I gift to you
The universe, from its center to its outskirts.
Give me the key to start, come on now, don't be scared - be braver!
To the stars we will rush together right now.
I will ride Halley's Comet
You will ride my beginning!
In the power of my strength, you cry out joyfully
Cry, but just don't strain your voice.
While we are building a bridge, she will take her post
Guarding the foundation of love.
Open the door for me, I will float in weightless
And I will greet your body.
And for the pooch, a special gift -
I brought some fresh bones for her
