Honky's Ladder

The Afghan Whigs

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:







Got you where I want you motherfucker
I got five up on your dime
And if you wanna peep on something
Peep what I got stuck between your eyesAnd since I don't believe a word you say
Save it for another, baby brother
Swallow time to payUp on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the lightBut wait 'til I get done with you
If you tell me
"Don't get mixed up with the Devil"
That's exactly what I'm gonna doCaught you while you waited
For your boy to come and fix you up again
Come a little closer, baby
I only wanna try to be your friendSince I ain't got nothing left to lose
Got you where I want you, motherfucker
Don't you try to moveUp on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the lightWon't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake
That ladder, baby like I couldSo I wait
And I wait
And I wait
And I waitUp on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the lightWon't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake
That ladder, baby like I could
Like I could, like I could
