Up the Neck - Pretenders

Up the Neck Lyrics

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck?
When my tongue lay inside his lip
Felt like the time in the womb
But I woke up with a headache that split my skull
Alone in the roomI got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees
Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh
I said, "Baby, oh sweetheart"Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug
Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile
I remember the way he groaned
And moved with an animal skill
I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest
It was all very run of the millBut I noticed his scent started to change somehow
His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow
I said, "Baby, oh sweetheart"Bondage to lust, abuse of facility
Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee
I was sure his intentions were sweet
And that mine was as well

But a wish is a shot in the dark
When your coin's down the wellI got out in the hall with my teeth in my head
Up to my neck and I said, said, said, "Dead"
I said, "Baby, oh sweetheart"
