Up the Neck lyrics

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

I noticed his scent started to change somehow

His face went berserk, 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 attentions 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 I said, said, said

Dead

I said, "Baby, oh, Sweetheart!"
