Bloodlust Lyrics

why can’t we rearrange the tectonic plates?

there’s another painted woman at the foot of the stage

blue eyes, black thighs, you don’t give a damn

as every cheek in this room prepares to give you a hand

cheap beer and moonlight were never enough

and every time i cried wolf, you had to call my bluff

you’d start to call me more fashionable names

i chipped my teeth on our wedding day

bang, bang, bang goes the front door

and bang, bang, bang goes my heart to the floor

you’d be a liar if you settled for more

oh, these are the plights of the ever unsure

if we do this your way, it’ll never be through

we’ve got a lot to say and even less to do

bloodlust is the ticket and contrition is fraud

you’ll have a hell of a time crawling back to the start

build me a cradle and make it swing deep

and you can tell all the neighbors that i just went to sleep

you’d be a liar if you settled for less

so just cut off my hands and watch me try to undress
