Lyrics Horse Feathers – Belly Of June
Text:
It’s noon in the belly of June
Let’s wager with bodies, the night’s coming soon
Come like a lover to me, let’s lay in the dark and meet the birds and the bees
A scene at the past county fair
Please won’t you leave her alone
She’s telling you boy, you don’t know when to go
She’s had enough she sadly sung:
«We’re no longer young, we’re lazy and lithe, and our age makes us dumb
Don’t call on me, paltering and pale
With sin on your mind, and dirt under your nails»
Well, he holds to a vow just because
Lamenting a love that never was
It’s a thing that’s never tested or tried
In a June that up and bloomed and quickly died
It’s noon in the belly of June
Let’s wager with bodies, the night’s coming soon
Come like a lover to me, let’s lay in the dark and meet the birds and the bees
Between the two and under the sun
It’s a war that’s always fought and is never won
Between the two and under the light
At last she’s never convinced and won’t stay the night
