The Sensual World
Written by Kate Bush   



Cover of single






 Mmh, yes, 






 Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth 


 Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes, 


 Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies 


 Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes, 






      He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes, 


      But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes. 






 



           Stepping out of the page into the sensual world. 


           Stepping out... 
  






 To where the water and the earth caress 


 And the down of a peach says mmh, yes, 


 Do I look for those millionaires 


 Like a Machiavellian girl would 


 When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes, 






      And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world 


      You don't need words--just one kiss, then another. 






 



           Stepping out of the page into the sensual world 


           Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world. 
 







 And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes, 


 And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes, 


 Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers? 


 And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes, 


 He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts 


 He'd rescue it, mmh, yes, 


 And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes, 


 I said, mmh, yes, 


 But not yet, mmh, yes, 


 Mmh, yes.
