"Venus" lyrics - ANAIS MITCHELL

ANAIS MITCHELL
"Venus"

I've seen Venus, Venus coming
She come down in a cloud machine
And I believe
I believe that she is the only woman I ever seen

She came curving, soft and hard
Carved out of marble, tall and fair
Her heart is a temple and
Lover you better kneel if you ever enter there
She don't need no one
Don't need no one
Don't need no one to hold her hand
I just want to see her face again
I want to see her again

Venus laughing
Venus singing
Venus moaning, oh my goddess
It's like to set the green earth spinning
Like to light the sky above
She opened her mouth, birds flew out
Her love was hovering all around
And my love moved inside of me
A snake waked up in my body
I'm not making
I ain't making
I'm not making any kind of plan
I just want to see her face again
And again
I want to see her again

I've seen Venus, Venus leaving
I don't even know what it means
But I believe
I believe that she is the only woman I ever seen
