There’s an open wound someplace south of my neck, north of my toes
Where the blood spills out of a geysers mouth and spoils my ivory robes
By the river slow and easy, still I don’t know where it flows
I wanna know where you go, when you go
In the poison room of the time hotel every crack is a swollen tongue
That sings to me my eulogy, the last breath of a golden lung
I kept my heart a secret now I bleed naked in the snow
I wanna know where you go, when you go
I loved you like a brother, I kept you safe from sulfur eyes
And you treat me like a Trojan horse just to take ‘em all by surprise
I took my horn down to the club, for I felt that I might blow
I wanna know where you go, when you go
A head filled with nails was found face down in a lake
When they pulled him out the police new it could be no mistake
They found 29 nails in his brain and one lodged in his nose
I wanna know where you go, when you go
I caught time in a cage I kept it captive for a while
I staved it and I beat it but I still got no reply
I asked that it might take me and leave you old to never grow
I wanna know where you go, when you go

The sexual energy from this recording intimidates Barry White and Marvin Gaye.
Donny B's bass playing is fire.
The whole album is great. But this song and its lyrical idea is my favourite - leave your relationship for a one stand with Donny. Who could resist? MatthewVecchio
