“you got to tell me what I look like/ How are my shoes babe? How is my breath?”

Slide guitar over a slack key tuning (G Major seventh). Lyric is about a hot, intense personal relationship. Using language inspired by Jean Paul Sartres “No Exit” where the protaganists are in hell and there are no mirrors and they have to ask each other what they look like and who they are. (This play inspired the phrase “hell is other people”).

lyrics

Hell is you, babe
c’mon over here
and give me a taste of whatever you feel like givin’ me
throw me a bone
finish me off babe
tell me what I did and what I do
hell is you, babe
I got no reflection
you got to tell me how I am
you got to tell me what I look like
how are my shoes? babe
How is my breath? babe!

hell is you, babe
O beast!
machine!
unfeeling presence!
unseeing eye!
octopi
lets gild the lily
I’m burnin up with your eye
you never look at me no more!

you know all about me
I cant do anything to change
to be new in your eyes
I’m at the mouth, the hellmouth
I don’t care
oh its dark and hot
we don’t know much and we’re cool with that

hell is you, babe
it’s wherever you are
that’s where I wanna be
hell is you, babe
burnin’ in your reflection
it’s the only one I’ve got

hell is you, babe
hell is you!
