Sweet the sting
"sweet sweet sweet ...
With a strut into the room
with his hat cocked sure defiantly
he said, "I -
I have heard
that you can play
the way I like it to
be played."
I said,
"I can play any way that you want,
but first I want,
I want
to know:
Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?
Is it real
this infusion -
can it heal
where others before have failed?
If so, then somebody
shake, shake, shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip
of this scorpion's tail..."
He said, "I laid my weapons down
with my pistol fully loaded,
a hunted man
to my root,
will it end or begin
in your cinnabar juice?"
Is it sweet, sweet, sweet your sting?
Is it real,
your infusion?
Can it heal
where others
before
have failed?
If so, then somebody
shake, shake, shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip
of this scorpion's tail.
Love, let me breathe
breathe you in
Melt the confusion
until there is
there is you - union...
Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet your sting?
Is it real, your infusion?
Can it heal
where others before
have failed?
If so, then somebody
shake, shake, shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer
to the tip
of this scorpion's tail..."
