WOUNDS

Let it all be lost to the sky
Day has come and gone all bruised up by the night
You won't feel better now if you try
You won't get closure tonight 

When you first came to town all begging to please
So you could put some money down on a warm bead and a meal 
You heard him say "hey babe,
Come over here don't be shy. 
I'll give you shelter tonight”

“No man will hurt while you're in my bed
no matter how hard they try"
But he was just another monster men
The most callous, vicious rat in the cage

Hoo Hoo my friend
Let me help you dress your wounds
Hit me if helps
I'll be your punchbag 'till you're done
Empty of that rage
From these rat bite fever stings
Hoo hoo my friend
Let whatever's done be gone


As he said the words you once dreamed to hear
you felt this pinch of hope at his joyous promise  
“You'll get no better deal if you tried
than to love me and be loved tonight”

“No man will hurt while you're in my bed
no matter how hard they try”
But he was just another monster men
Holding his loaded gun to your head


Hoo Hoo my friend
Let me help you dress your wounds
Hit me if helps
I'll be your punchbag 'till you're done
Empty of that rage
From these rat bite fever stings
Hoo hoo my friend
Let whatever's done be gone
