| What are you waiting for | G |
| What are you waiting for | G |
| What is the hot plumb weight of your desire on me | B |
| You have a hot unthinkable desire of me bunny | B |
| - | |
| What is that spark | H |
| glittering at me on the unutterable darkness | I |

| The finest splinter of a spark | H |

| I must be reciprocating your vacuous hideous passion | Q |
| - | |
| It must be the want in you | R |
| that has drawn this terrible draught of white fire | K |
| up my veins as up a chimney | B |
| - | |
| It must be you who desire | K |
| this intermingling of the black and monstrous fingers of Moloch | S |
| in the blood jets of your throat | T |
| - | |
| Come you shall have your desire | K |
| since already I am implicated with you | R |
| in your strange lust | U |
