Up The Neck Lyrics by Pretenders

Up The Neck Lyrics

    Anger and lust my senses running amok
    Bewildered and deluded, have i been hit by a truck?
    When my tongue lay inside his lip
    Felt like the time in the womb
    But i woke up with a headache that split my skull
    Alone in the room


    I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees
    Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh
    I said "baby, oh sweetheart"


    Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug
    Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile
    I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill
    I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest
    It was all very run of the mill
    But i noticed his scent started to change somehow
    His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow
    I said "baby, oh sweetheart"


    Bondage to lust, abuse of facility
    Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee
    I was sure his intentions were sweet
    And that mine was as well
    But a wish is a shot in the dark
    When your coin's down the well


    I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head
    Up to my neck and i said, said, said dead
    I said "baby, oh sweetheart"
