The Receiving End Lyrics

Shall we Jet?

Like the Pipistrelle

Enquire in vain

As unseen things quicken our uncivil blood

Shall we rise like the Noctule?

Drift on the great winds

Hide from the drones in the denizens

Shall we endeavour like the Serotine?

Flex in mid-air

Throw back the covers,travel and attack

I just want to hold your hand again

I'm on the Receiving End of your love

The Receiving End

I spy Nethusius in the telescope

As he spreads out his arms

And wheels around and around and around again

I set me down among the measurements

And Daubentons longitude

And the ever-furtive traction of an Althacoe

Does nature devour us?

As we devour the Ortolans

More widdershins than Deosil

So shall we Jet?

And sink our rabid teeth again

I'm on the Receiving End of your love

The Receiving End
