Tusk And Temper Lyrics - Gutter Phenomenon - Every Time I Die

Bedeck your gown in bricks 

There's leeches stealing across the stage 

Come hell or ocean water I won't end up without 

Applaud the gall of the black cloud groping a drunken teenage vow 

As saline drips from her prom dress, damp hands are desiccated 

There's a wolf at the window of the second floor who kidnaps your date with a new car 

We both want the same thing 

Bad poetry and assaults at the bar 

Just try and stop me 

We are the only one in the world 

Prepare the ballroom 

Quicksand in front of the coat check 

Waltz with the scarecrow in the spotlight through the rye 

I was born a wanted man 

But I'll die a sailor's wife 

God help me pick the lock to her room I have to make this right 

Scream the hounds to sleep for me 

I'm creeping around in your head like a vine 

Your spit is the meat of the rose harvested by the dull 

Let fly the doves, unhook their leather wings from the fog 

Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam 

In a photo taken of us, at the recpetion held at the jail 

Loverboy is breaking up just off to the right side of me 

I will stop at nothing 

I am the siren that sings you home 

Is that clear? 

I will stop at nothing 

I am the tooth in your jewelery box 

Is that clear? 

Let pry the crows 

Unhinge their crooked beaks from the clock 

Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam 

Bolt the gate and head for ivory tower 

Adoration is cutting the phone lines to your heart 

Love is here 

I am the snarling and starry-eyed 

We both want the same thing 

Better aim at the stranger in our yard 

Just try to stop me 

I am the blinding light of your life 

Prepare the body 

I've been better but thanks for asking 

Wait with the scarecrow for the spotlight in the rye 

I'll eat you alive 

The calm will come again
