Lyrics to Body by Thao with the Get Down Stay Down
What am I just a body in your bed
Won’t you reach for the body in your bed
We were the loved ones
Sworn up and down upon
You, you are a dead man
I just have to shoot the gun
What about the future of your vision
With the stare and glare of handsome men and women
It’s good to see you, it’s too good to see you
What am I just a body in your bed
Won’t you reach for the body in your bed
I have been just a body in your bed
Won’t you reach for the body in your bed
