Venus de milo in her half-baked shell Understood the nature of love very well She said, "a good love is delicious, You can't get enough too soon It makes you so crazy you want to swallow the moon." Oh, oh Jupiter Oh, oh be still my little heart Oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame Take these stars from my crown Let the years fall down Lay me out in firelight Let my skin feel the night Fasten me to your side Say it will be soon You make me so crazy, baby Could swallow the moon My hands are two travelers they've crossed oceans and lands Yet they are too small on the continent of your skin Wandering, wandering I could spend my life Traveling the length of your body each night Oh, oh Jupiter Oh, oh be still my little heart Oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame Take these stars from my crown Let the years fall down Lay me out in firelight Let my skin feel the night Fasten me to your side and say it will be soon You make me so crazy, baby Could swallow the moon Swallow the moon Oh, oh Jupiter Oh, oh be still my little heart Oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame Take these stars from my crown Let the years fall down Lay me out in firelight Let my skin feel the night Fasten me to your side And say it will be soon You make me so crazy, baby Could swallow the moon Swallow the moon Swallow the moon Swallow the moons
