LYRICS
I was walking by a hot spring when I noticed something move
Molten rock and ashes from the earth had been transfused
The magma then began to cool, then it crystallized
It formed into a woman it was then I realized
She taste like metal - she spill like wine
She taste like metal - credit to womankind
Silver, gold or copper couldn't match her propeties
Not platinum, or iron, not to mention mercury
She's lusterous, maleble, fashioned with a shield
But I could not escape once caught in her magnetic field
She taste like metal - she spill like wine
She taste like metal - credit to womankind
She taste like metal - she spill like wine
She taste like metal - credit to womankind
Who'd imagine that I would find
This new creation without a sign
Her chemistry is still undefined
The only thing I know at this time is that...
She taste like metal - she spill like wine
She taste like metal - credit to womankind
She taste like metal - she spill like wine
She taste like metal - credit to womankind
Metal!
