"Hair To The Ferris Wheel" lyrics

Lady Lamb The Beekeeper Lyrics

"Hair To The Ferris Wheel"

Take me by the arm to the altar
Take me by the collar to the cliff
Take me by the waist to the water
Take me by the hair to the ferris wheel
Take me by the wrist to the river
Take me by the braid down to my grave

Love is selfish
Love goes tic-toc-tic
And love knows Jesus
Apples and oranges

It's a zoo in your room
When you part your lips
And you long to kiss
Like you won't exist come the morning time
Come the sunrise

And all I'd like to do this afternoon
Is to drag the mattress up to the roof
Hushed tones in the ears of the airplane next to you

Let's crawl all over one another
Like crows on a carcass
Like ants on a crumb
Starving only, starving only for the taste of tongues

Love is selfish
Love goes tic-toc-tic
Loves knows Jesus
Apples and oranges

Take me by the arm to the altar
Take me by the collar to the cliff
Take me by the waist to the water
Take me by the hair to the ferris wheel
Take me by the wrist to the river
Take me by the braid down to my grave
