There's a wolf at the window of the second floor
I was born a wanted man but I'll die a sailor's wife
I'm creeping around in your head like a vine
Your spit the meat of the rose harvested by the dull, let fly
I will stop at nothing, I am the siren that sings you home
Let pry the crows, unhook they're crooked beaks from the clock
I am the snarling and starry-eyed
We both want the same thing, better aim at the stranger in our yard
Waltz with the scarecrow in the spotlight through the rye
Who kidnaps your date with a new car
Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam
Love is here
As saline drips from her prom dress, damp hands are dessicated
Is that clear? Is that clear?
I'll eat you alive, I'll eat you alive
Applaud the gall of the black cloud groping a drunken teenage vow
I am the snarling
Wait with the scarecrow for the spotlight in the rye
I am the snarling and starry-eyed
God help me pick the lock to her room, I have to make this right
I am the snarling
Prepare the ballroom, quicksand in front of the coat check
I'm creeping around in your head like a vine
Scream the hounds to sleep for me
The calm will come again
Just try and stop me, we are the only one in the world
Let the doves, unhook their leather wings from the fog
Bolt the gate for the head of the ivory tower
In a photo taken of us at the reception held at the jail
Is that clear? Is that clear?
Lover boy is breaking up, just to the right side of me
Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam
Prepare the body, I've been better but thanks for asking
I'll eat you alive, I'll eat you alive
Just try to stop me, I am the blinding light of your life
The calm will come again
We both want the same thing, bad poetry and assaults at the bar
Adoration is cutting the phone lines to your heart
I will stop at nothing, I am the tooth in your jewelry box
