Knife And Fork Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

Knife And Fork Lyrics

    Chorus:
    I'm comin' back home to you
    Stuck to you like crazy glue
    Don't wanna go on living without
    Something left to shout about
    We'll play the game of love and fate
    I'll be the knife and fork, and you be the plate...


    Now welcome baby to my pad of delights
    Have a drink... do you like my tights?
    This switch here'll make the lights go down low
    And this one here makes all the bubbles go
    The water's warm, yes, a sunken tub
    Tonight you'll be joinin' my exclusive club
    Here now do you wanna see somethin' fine?
    Straight from singapore... cost me five and nine
    It's a picture of a man and an egyptian queen
    Kept in the family, if you know what i mean


    Chorus repeat


    Now i know you'll say my approach is direct
    But don't throw out this mail before you check
    We go together like fish and fin
    Aphrodite and zeus, water and gunga din
    We'll perform here on this sacrificial slab
    For your sweet, sweet love, i'll even go back to rehab


    Chorus repeat


    For you i'll even grow a pencil thin moustache
    You can put me in chains... i'll wear that wolf mask
    And you can starve me in your basement for a couple of weeks
    Just please let me squeeze one of your rosy cheeks
    I wanna float with you on a cumulus cloud
    I wanna take you far away from this maddening crowd
    You can scratch up my back with your long fingernails
    We'll drink some weird wine and eat psychedelic snails
