Lyrics

[Intro: Cory Lockwood] Well, the motor in the back of your neck Is begging and calling for sex And the lizards are laying some monstrous eggs In an entropic tropical mess While you're sleeping, I'm crawling I've crept to the edge of the bed Where you've slept for a thousand nights alone In a cavern you call home [Verse 1: Kurt Travis] I'm here, so let's do this Your hands on my legs You say the things I want to hear Let's please just keep touching I don't wanna think Please keep me from thinking [Verse 2: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] I missed your name; can I hear it again? I missed your name; can I hear it again? (Can I hear it again?) While you were talking, my eyes kept walking Down the walkway of your neckline So I didn't hear you begging; can I hear it again? (Can I hear it again?) [Bridge: Kurt Travis, Cory Lockwood, Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh So many dreams have left me tired Waking up and shaking on my own I ignored a ticking clock to call you And made a weapon of my phone Poor judgment and bankrupt morals A girl without a penny for her thoughts, I guess I like you cheap I guess that conscience, long since gone, has sent me spiraling So lost into the planet of your skin There's a fear that we will end that, just won't let me begin And though I have no qualms with lust Your body is a howling, haunted petting zoo That I really shouldn't touch [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] And as I'm walking out the door for good I turn around to look at you, and you're You're already undressed, oh, oh You're already undressed, oh, oh You're already undressed If I draw near, do you disappear? (You're already undressed) If I stay away, will you call my name? (You're already undressed)
