Fiona Apple - The First Taste

I lie in an early bed

Thinking late thoughts

Waiting for the black

To replace my blue

I do not struggle

In your web

Because it was my

Aim to get caught

But daddy longlegs

I feel that I'm finally

Growing weary

Of waiting to be

Consumed by you

Give me the first taste

Let it begin

Heaven cannot wait forever

Darling, just start the chase

I'll let you win

But you must

Make the endeavour



Oh, your love gives

Me a heart confusion

Adagio breezes fill

My skin with sudden red

Your hungry flirt

Borders intrusion

I'm building memories on

Things we have not said

Full is not heavy as empty

Not nearly my love

Not nearly my love

Not nearly



Give me the first taste

Let it begin

Heaven cannot wait forever

Darling, just start the chase

I'll let you win

But you must

Make the endeavour
