about

DESIRE (2017)
Written in New Orleans during a time of particular confusion and longing – that heavy, oppressive kind of lust that makes you doubt your choices and reckon with your mortality.

lyrics

you got a way about you, baby

I got a hunger for you, man it’s killing me

I’m gonna want you ‘til they lay me in my grave

you can put on your Sunday suit and dance in my parade



I could die in a flood

shedding blood

or a fire

if I don’t die of desire



I saw the Mississippi when I was a child

wanted to jump into that river running wild

my mama told me when she took me in her arms

all of the things we long for come to do us harm



I could die in a flood

shedding blood

or a fire

if I don’t die of desire



when they lay me in my grave

they’re gonna say that I lived right

they’re gonna cry for me all night

they’re gonna laugh at my epitaph



you can live like a king

you can sing in the choir

but we all die of desire

we all die of desire
