lyrics

FEVER 103
lyrics © Sylvia Plath (adaptation by, Mojdeh Stoakley)

Pure, what does it mean?
The tongues of hell are dull,
dull as a triple, tongues of dull,
fat Cerberus wheezes at the gate,
incapable of licking clean!

One scarf will catch an anchor in the wheel.
Such yellow sullen smokes, they will not rise!

Devilish leopard!
Radiation turned it white and killed it in an hour!

Greasing the bodies of adulterers,
like Hiroshima ash and eating in, the sin.

Darling, all night I have been flickering,
off, on, off, on,
The sheets grow heavy as a lecher's kiss.
Three days, three nights,
lemon-water, chicken-water, water make me wretch!

I am too pure for you or anyone!
Your body hurts me like the world hurts god!

I am a lantern!
My head a moon of japanese paper,
my gold beaten skin,
it's indefinitely delicate,
it's, it's, it's indefinitely expensive!

Greasing the bodies of adulterers,
like Hiroshima ash and eating in, the sin.

I am pure as a virgin attended by roses.

Greasing the bodies of adulterers,
like Hiroshima ash and eating in,
(like Hiroshima ash and eating in)
the sin.

like Hiroshima ash and eating in
like Hiroshima ash and eating in
like Hiroshima ash and eating in
the sin
the sin
the sin
THE SIN
THE SIN

OH, I AM PURE!

It's indefinitely delicately, it's indefinitely expensive
It's indefinitely delicately, it's indefinitely expensive
like Hiroshima ash and
like Hiroshima ash and
like Hiroshima ash and
like Hiroshima ash and
the sin
the sin

I am pure.
