SINGER: The Pretenders

SONG:Up The Neck

Anger 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"
