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