Tastes so Sweet

One pound of flesh, no more, no less

Punching my heart, and pounding my chest

Bulging tongue, blood on my breath

Devour the hour until there's nothing left

The way you're smiling, tantalizing

Carving the bedpost, counting the passing days

Swirling embers ignite my desire

To set fire to this house ablaze

She's got those bedroom eyes

Now I finally realize

You're the sugar that makes the medicine taste so sweet

All your preaches bring my to my knees

When you wave your hand you're parting the big blue seas

Praise the lord, now you've sold out every seat

I'll follow you to the gates of hell

I've got a story and a soul to sell

Nose in the dirt, sniffing your scent

No reason to pray, confess or repent

Damage done and I'm mending my wounds

A headless thought is polluting the womb

The floor is crawling to exit the room

Not a second to late, not a minute too soon

And now I realize

What's behind those bedroom eyes

You're the sugar that makes the medicine taste so sweet

All your preaches bring my to my knees

When you wave your hand you're parting the big blue seas

Praise the lord, now you've sold out every seat

I'll follow you to the gates of hell

I've got a story and a soul to sell

Nose in the dirt, sniffing your scent

No reason to pray, confess or repent

You're the sugar that makes the medicine taste so sweet

All your preaches bring my to my knees

When you wave your hand you're parting the big blue seas

Praise the lord, now we'll sell out every seat

Tastes so sweet
