Up the Neck Lyrics
7 ContributorsUp the Neck LyricsAnger and lust
My senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded
Have I been hit by a truck?
When my tongue lay inside his lip
Felt like the time in the womb
But I woke up with a headache that split my skull
Alone in the room
I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees
Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh
I said, "Baby, oh, sweetheart"
Lust turns to anger
A kiss to a slug
Something was sticky
On your shag rug, look at the tile
I remember the way he groaned
And moved with an animal skill
I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest
It was all very run of the mill
But I noticed his scent started to change somehow
His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow
I said, "Baby, oh, sweetheart"
Bondage to lust
Abuse of facility
Blackmailed emotions confuse
The demon and devotee
I was sure his intentions were sweet
And that mine was as well
But a wish is a shot in the dark
When your coin's down the well
I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head
Up to my neck and I said, said, said, "Dead"
I said, "Baby, oh, sweetheart"
The Wait Lyrics
6 ContributorsThe Wait LyricsSaid the wait child, magic child, work it on out, now work it
The wait child, pinball child, pool hall child hurts
The wait child, pacing child, forth back now hurts
The wait child, neon light, late night lights hurt
Oh, gonna hurt some, child, child
Gonna hurt some, whoa, my baby
Said the wait child, bruised ball child, pride-slapped child hurts
The wait child, crest-felled child, tear-eyed child hurts
The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, platform walk, idle talk hurts
Oh, gonna hurt some, child, child
Gonna hurt some, whoa, my baby
I said child, child staring into the streetlight
Messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy, you've been forgotten
Child, child staring into the streetlight
Messed up child, lonely boy tonight
Kick the wall, turn the street and back again
Oh boy, you've been forgotten
I said the wait child, pacing child, forth back now hurts
The wait child, bus stop child, late come child hurts
The wait child, pool hall child, pin table now hurts
The wait child, magic child, work it on out, now work it
Oh, gonna hurt some, child, child, child, child, child
Hurt some, whoa, my baby, hey
