Bathsheba Bathes - The Residents

Out in the openness of night

She bathes before my sucking sight

Fingers of fire so soft and slow

Make her amber body glow

He takes what he wants

With smiling lies

He takes what he wants

And someone dies

Like caution to the newly blind

Her image never leaves my mind

I have to hear her as she cries

Underneath my buning eyes

Her husband is fighting far away

In my army so they’ll say

I took his honor with his wife

So he must lose it with his life

A king is noble, strong and right

With appetites to match his might

With gore and glory in his bed

His penis rules a rancid head
