Listen - Lyrics - Jarboe

Jarboe is an American singer-songwriter and keyboardist who came to prominence as a member of the New York City-based band Swans in 1985. Having played the organ since childhood and had years of professional vocal training, she, with founder Michael Gira, were the two constant members of Swans until the group broke up in 1998.

Death-like in her pallor Silver spiders in the parlor glisten Come into me, listen We'll open our wounds Kill the devil moon Come into me, listen Am I what you see Is this what is me Come into me, listen A diamond in the rough A heart torn off the cuff You wore it on your sleeve Now come into me Her heart was all she owned Her body worn down to the bone For she gave herself away On every money day Yes she took her "payn" in style For she was saturns child Come into me, listen So look at my face Draw a mask White circles on the sun Look at my face Draw a mask White circles: its begun Hollow your mind Watch yourself die Come into me, listen Come into me, listen Come into me, listening
