Up The Neck

The Pretenders

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"
