Lyrics

[Verse 1: Carla Bozulich] Slap your cheeks for color And suck your stomach to your spine It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, you look fine [Verse 2: Jamie Stewart] Horsewhipped you'll forever be But much as his love runs down your thighs [Chorus: Jamie Stewart and Carla Bozulich / Both] Throw your arms around my neck And throw the rest against my chest You woke up with your hands down someone else's stretch-pants Held your breath 'til you blacked out Wash his taste out of your mouth Surprised you could stomach it [Verse 3: Jamie Stewart] Led him by the halter Put the blinders on your eyes It's time, it's time, you look like mine [Verse 4: Carla Bozulich / Carla Bozulich and Jamie Stewart] A man you can never be But just as the horseflies crowd your eyes I tried, I tried So before you change your mind [Verse 4: Carla Bozulich / Carla Bozulich and Jamie Stewart] Throw your belt around my neck A brick in the small of the back Smear the queen They bashed his teeth in with an elbow cast Held his throat 'til he passed out Count the men inside your mouth Surprised that you could stomach it [Verse 4: Jamie Stewart / Jamie Stewart and Carla Bozulich] Bridle yourself for secret love An armful of charm Held up in hotel Golgotha The bridegroom of blood Useless and covetous of love It's over and over The pale horse you should be frightened of The horror, the horror [Outro: Carla Bozulich] A kiss on the forehand A kiss for the lip strap A kiss on the nose band A kiss on the throat latch
