And when the body finally starts to let go
let it all go at once
not piece by piece
but like a whole bucket of stars
dumped into the universe
Whoh! Watcb it go!
Good-bye small hands, good-bye small heart
good-bye small head
My soul is climbing tree trunks
and swinging from every branch
They're calling on me
they're calling on me
Do you think I'm an animal?
Am I not?
Do you like fur
Do you wanna come over
Are we captive only for a short time
Is there splendor, I'm not ashamed
Desire shoots through me
Like birds singing
(The way you move no ocean's waves were ever as fluid)
They're calling on me
they're calling on me
I hit the mark!
I target moon, I target sky, I target sun
Fall down on the world before it falls on you
Like beggars, like Stars
like whores, us all
Like beggars, like dogs
Like Stars, us all
Shoot straight for my heart
(And when you were near no sky was ever quite so clear)
Like stars, so small
Like us, when we fall
Like beggars, like whores
Like lovers, Get Up!
Get up, too far
let it all go at once
not piece by piece
but like a whole bucket of stars
dumped into the universe
Whoh! Watcb it go!
Good-bye small hands, good-bye small heart
good-bye small head
My soul is climbing tree trunks
and swinging from every branch
They're calling on me
they're calling on me
Do you think I'm an animal?
Am I not?
Do you like fur
Do you wanna come over
Are we captive only for a short time
Is there splendor, I'm not ashamed
Desire shoots through me
Like birds singing
(The way you move no ocean's waves were ever as fluid)
They're calling on me
they're calling on me
I hit the mark!
I target moon, I target sky, I target sun
Fall down on the world before it falls on you
Like beggars, like Stars
like whores, us all
Like beggars, like dogs
Like Stars, us all
Shoot straight for my heart
(And when you were near no sky was ever quite so clear)
Like stars, so small
Like us, when we fall
Like beggars, like whores
Like lovers, Get Up!
Get up, too far

This is one of those songs that can be interpreted in many ways. On one level, she's talking about sex; it seems that her lover is begging her for sex when she doesn't want to do it. I also get the feeling that the singer is a bit older, and is not as turned on by sex as she once was. The fur line may be referring to genital hair. She is letting it grow out, much to her lover's dislike. On another level, the singer may be lamenting how sex is not as fun as it used to be. She's using a metaphor of dying to compare it to the loss of her sex drive.
