Tusk and Temper

Bedeck your gown in bricks, there's leeches stealing across the stage
Come hell or ocean water, I won't end up without
Applaud the gall of the black cloud groping a drunken teenage vow
As saline drips from her prom dress, damp hands are dessicated
There's a wolf at the window of the second floor
Who kidnaps your date with a new carWe both want the same thing, bad poetry and assaults at the bar
Just try and stop me, we are the only one in the world
Prepare the ballroom, quicksand in front of the coat check
Waltz with the scarecrow in the spotlight through the ryeI was born a wanted man but I'll die a sailor's wife
God help me pick the lock to her room, I have to make this rightScream the hounds to sleep for me
I'm creeping around in your head like a vine
I'm creeping around in your head like a vineYour spit the meat of the rose harvested by the dull, let fly
Let the doves, unhook their leather wings from the fogPut your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam
Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of VietnamIn a photo taken of us at the reception held at the jail
Lover boy is breaking up, just to the right side of meI will stop at nothing, I am the siren that sings you home
Is that clear? Is that clear?
I will stop at nothing, I am the tooth in your jewelry box
Is that clear? Is that clear?Let pry the crows, unhook they're crooked beaks from the clockBolt the gate for the head of the ivory tower
Adoration is cutting the phone lines to your heart
Love is hereI am the snarling and starry-eyed
I am the snarling
I am the snarling and starry-eyed
I am the snarlingWe both want the same thing, better aim at the stranger in our yard
Just try to stop me, I am the blinding light of your life
Prepare the body, I've been better but thanks for asking
Wait with the scarecrow for the spotlight in the ryeI'll eat you alive, I'll eat you alive
The calm will come againThe calm will come again
I'll eat you alive, I'll eat you alive
The calm will come again
