Lyrics

    She told me “open your mouth”
    She said “I’ve got a surprise.”
    And so I opened it wide,
    and then she crawled inside
    She’s on the tip of my tongue
    and on the top of my thighs
    And if I searched a thousand miles I’d be dying to find
    
    between my fingers
    She leaves
    then she’s lingers
    If she’s gonna go
    well then I’m going with her
    I know that I won’t forget
    
    She was sweet like honey
    But all I can taste is the blood in my mouth
    And the bitterness in goodbye
    Dripping like honey
    Down the back of my throat and out the front of my mind.
    And now she’s impatient
    I’m complacent
    with just a little
    taste of wasting time
    looking for honey
    but she stings like she means it
    she’s mean and she’s mine
    
    We’re out and about
    without a reason or rhyme
    And now she’s dancing on a table
    and she spins on a dime
    
    she’s hell in a basket
    Just making a racket
    I love every second
    It’s fucking fantastic
    good things aren’t easy to get
    I know that I won’t regret
    
    She was sweet like honey
    And all I can taste is the blood in my mouth
    And the bitterness in goodbye
    Dripping like honey
    Down the back of my throat and on the front of my mind.
    And well she’s impatient
    I’m complacent
    with just a little
    taste of wasting time
    looking for honey
    but she stings like she means it
    she’s mean and she’s mine
    
    between my fingers
    She leaves
    then she’s lingers
    If she’s gonna go
    well then I’m going with her
    I know that I won’t forget
    
    She was sweet like honey
    But all I can taste is the blood in my mouth
    And the bitterness in goodbye
    Dripping like honey
    Down the back of my throat and on the front of my mind.
    And well she’s impatient
    And I’m complacent
    with just a little
    taste of wasting time
    looking for honey
    but she stings like she means it
    she’s mean and she’s mine
