One pound of flesh, no more no less Punching my heart and pounding my chest Bulging tongue, bloody my breath Devour the hour, 'til there's nothing left Now you're smiling, tantalizing Clawing the bedpost, counting the passing days Burning embers, ignite my desire To spit fire and set this house ablaze She's got those bedrooms eyes Now I finally realize You're the sugar, that makes the medicine taste so sweet All your preaching's bringing me to my knees When you wave your hand, you're parting the big blue seas Praise the lord, now you're selling out every seat I'll follow you to the gates of hell I've got a story and a soul to sell Nose in the dirt, sniffing your scent No reason to pray, confess or repent Damage done and I'm mending my wounds Our headless spawn is polluting the womb The floor is crawling to exit the room Not a second to waste, not a minute too soon And now I realize What's behind those bedroom eyes You're the sugar that makes the medicine taste so sweet All your preaching's bringing me to my knees When you wave your hand, you're parting the big blue seas Praise the lord, now we're selling out every seat I'll follow you to the gates of hell I've got a story and a soul to sell Nose in the dirt, sniffing your scent No reason to pray, confess or repent You're the sugar that makes the medicine taste so sweet All your preaching's bringing me to my knees When you wave your hand, you're parting the big blue seas Praise the lord, now we're selling out every seat Tastes so sweet
