Danielle Ate The Sandwich - First Taste lyrics

Artist: Danielle Ate The Sandwich

album: Two Bedroom Apartment


The mother spoke your name
Across her lips,
And kissed the children on the forehead.
She turned down the lamps and closed the door,
And you came out then from the closet.
We had seen you once before,
Projected monstrous onto movie screens,
Stalking outside under window panes.
We understood you made your living.
Oh, where you do you come from?
Oh, where do you go?
And at the bottom of the staircase,
Hiding quiet under basement noise,
You kept ready all your ropes and twine,
Tasting for my ankles.
Oh, where do you come from?
Oh, where do you go?
Dawn came slow, and
We awoke
With your fingertips
On our eyelids.
I am older and awake again
In the hours before morning,
And I have learned you are a formless thing
Undeserving of my fearing.
Still my skin
Speaks your name
It's hard to take
Away the first taste.
Oh, where do you come from?
Oh, where do you go?
