about

The English translation of the chorus is essentially "My Love - You are tired, but I am hungry." The title itself is the narrator's failed linguistic attempt at calling his beloved by the name "Last Virgin," trying to imply in jest that the beloved is the last virgin on earth (the words "akhar" and "virgin" make no sense together in Arabic or English). The translation of the Arabic text on the accompanying illustration is: "They see a terrorist until they see a lover."

lyrics

Akhar Virgin
(c. clay)

How much waiting can one man stand
before his nervous system splits
and swallows life on land?
Let’s just say that our love is strong
and my arms would fit you better
than that clothing you got on.
Inside the womb and under the sea
water churned from human greed and turned me
into God’s pet thief.
I made it with princesses and servants under trees,
picked pockets of the merchants cuz they weren’t crafty as me.
So why should it be the absence of guile in your eyes
has stolen a heart more expert than could
my meanest tricks & lies? Let’s go.

أنا في الحب معك. انت عمري. أنت متعب ، وأنا جائع.

How much waiting can one boy stand
before his body aches beyond his baba’s stretch of sand?
You been scolded long enough - so surely it is time
to bite the hand that feeds you wire
which wraps your heart in binds.
Interpretation of Qur’ans and Bibles
shift like shadows by positions of the mind so
as you drop down on your knees pray to the Holy Mother now
cuz you’ll have one thing less in common with her
by the time the sun comes out – let’s go
cuz I been thinking about ya all weekend.
Why’m I stuck with my left hand
When I should be up in my man?

Quit pounding on your forehead
and maybe your temperature
would stop burning you up & out
if you wasn’t a virgin anymore.

When he cums the juices fly
across the galaxy and make a splatter all across the sky.
Each shot make a glowing star
and scorching trails on which
they make their wishes… Akhar Virgin

أنا في الحب معك. انت عمري. أنت متعب ، وأنا جائع.

Now in the Paradise Garage
I’ve found the proper place.
You’ve spread your joy so widely but
your legs must match the pace.
We’ve used our mouths for words
but now they’re wanting to move on.
Lord knows the rooster crows unto
the breaka-breaka dawn.
