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 
But I noticed his scent started to change somehow 
His face went berserk and the 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 intentions 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 and I said, said, said dead 
I said "baby, oh sweetheart"
