Think Dirty out Loud - A Lot Like Birds

To the fish in the sea, put your mouths on my hook

If I’m soft, will you give me the medusa look?

Well, your dress lit the floor on fire when it touched

So my little black book, how it shook, how it shook

How it shook shook shook shook SHOOK!

I heard that sometimes you like to suffocate

Cry out to me oh won’t you please

Speak to me oh

(GREAT DANE WHILE I RIDE THE MAIN VEIN)

When I write about you honey, oh the ink just runs off the page

Wow, what subject matter but by no means be

(FLATTERED BY THERE’S BRUISES ON YOUR LEGS)

What a clever trick!

Drop in with a bowl of cherries telling me I have to pick

But how could you not see the locks on the door?

There’s no turning back

You’ll get all that you wanted and more!

So pick up the rope and wear it

If your friends want the noose, will you share it?

Ooh, baby you just don’t do me right!

Maybe we can try one more time

Put your spine right on the dotted line

Ring around the right posy, woesy and whimsy wire line

That’s just about the right time to make you mine, all mine

Time and energy all for nothing

I should’ve listened to my intuition

Now I’m stuck under the floorboards

But they’re splitting as you’re stripping down to

Vines and melody, they surround you

Sometimes I wonder if your trap really worked

Are you the remedy?

Sensual medicine?

If so, prep the patient for a long shot

Lay down where you please, on your back

La la la la la la la la

I am the dog drooling tar on the nape of your neck

I eat emotional wrecks and yours is the best

You know I tried, you know I tried

I’ve got a pocketful of dark black pickup lines

That I want to spill down the well of your throat like a pile

Of ants in an alien line to see what they do

To see what they find.

Will you just let them decline?

I spiked both our drinks with a gallon of ink

Now I’m writing a novel from your insides

We’re a spider with our limbs doing anything but walking

A conversation with our mouths doing anything but talking

Hey, take off the rope!

You’ve worn it and after all, it was boring

I think I’m falling asleep
