about

Based on Walt Whitman's 'To a Common Prostitute' and 'I was Looking a Long While'.

lyrics

Be composed be at ease with me
I am human liberal and dirty
Not till the sun excludes you
Will I refuse you

And I've been looking a long while
For intentions

Not till the waters refuse to glisten
Or the leaves do rustle for you
Will you deny them
For you supply them

And I've been looking a long while
For intentions

There's a contradiction in the rules
The morals of leaders
And those of the people
It's in the present
In this place today

And I've been looking a long while
For intentions

It's the thoughts of one man who thinks lust's okay
The average manner today
It's in things we feel
Not in the things we say
And I've been looking a long while
For intentions

For a clue to a history of the past with you
Of the past in me
All for the present
All for the modern

And I've been looking a long while
For intentions

Be at ease with me
I am human liberal and dirty
The sun won't exclude
And I won't refuse you

Cause I've been looking a long while
For intentions
