JUST DRIFTING

Sometimes, just drifting
In this simple world
Like a country dream
Asleep to discussion
The numbness of content
I see you smile
Drifting
Like a country stream
My little girl
Precious and pure
As i fall back
Into softness and sleep
You caress me with simple love
You possess me with simple love
(Spoken)"A caress is just a touch
and you touched my heart
and now that we're together
you and I will never part"
You caress me with simple love
You possess me with simple love
Place becoums time
Space becoums mine
And always, like this robe
Green like a country dream
You surround me
And cover me
Protect me and caress me
With that special simple love
Sometimes, just drifting
Like a country stream
Precious and pure
I see you smile
Asleep to discussion
Of this simple word
The numbness of content
Drifting
Like a country seen
As i fall back
Into softness and sleep
You possess me with simple love
You caress me with simple love
-Genesis P-Orridge

"It's just about the moment when you fall in
love. But there is a little twist in it, the numb-
ness of content, that when you are actually
falling in love, it is quite dangerous...". The
text of this song first appeared in the german
LP by "Frieder Butzmann" (Zensor) coupled
with another poem read by Genesis ("Just
Drifting/Tales of Death").
