Violent lovers, in the dead of summer Sweat drips like wax upon the helpless insects I find you frightening, and all the while exciting It would be a miracle if we both survived the night
Breathe in deep, carbon monoxide Go to sleep, take a trip to the darkside of your Worst nightmares, and you'll find me there With ?Charlie's? eyes, and a coroner's smile
I'll take you home and skin you like an orange peel sunrise Stripped to the bone, I think we could go all night
That's right
It ain't a one night stand, if we're lying down The remains of all my lovers are buried in this town Just like miners gold, a story no one told Of a young girl buried alive and spinning in her grave
I'll take you home and skin you like an orange peel sunrise Stripped to the bone, I think we could go all night
That's right I'm tripping and dialing up your digits and I'm 1-900-dead-on-arrival I wake up in a dark room tied up in the corner dressed in leather and musk cologne The snake handler's skin grafts that never heal, flourescent bruises I do not feel You're too shy to show me where it hurts baby, show me what they've done to you I'll kiss it and make it better
I'll take you home and skin you like an orange peel sunrise Stripped to the bone, I think we could go all night I'll take you home and skin you like an orange peel sunrise Stripped to the bone, I think we could go all night
