Lyric discussion by songyone 

This song is about 'forbidden' sex, imho. Gay, infidelity, whatever... it is up to the listener. Here's my take:

Words fall from my mouth Like plates from shaking hands Smash upon the silence Of the smooth naked canal

Stuttering and sputtering and being struck speechless when confronted with the object of one's lust's naked body.

I like how you pretend That the end will be the end So fill up first then Drink a curse To the death of death instead

I like that you pretend there is no heaven or hell - no consequences. Let's get drunk and pretend that we'll never die instead.

Utrecht led me to the Sacré Coeur Where the smoke curled round Now the ice blows off Lake Michigan When the ice blows, The ice floe knocks you down

I've been to church - I know about religion, but in the real world, life is hard.

Your teeth are black with wine As you place those lips on mine the moon hangs heavy and forbidden high On the...night of our lives

Uh-huh... self-explanatory. :) Or, OMG this feels good.

Well I'm evil and a heathen I'm a heathen and evil like you There's not a lot Not a lot I couldn't do

I am willing to be 'bad'. And so are you.
