Inch Of My Love Lyrics

Blackjack laying on the table spitting up blood

I'd help you out if I was able to dry up this mud

You've got hot scented oil I've got water and wine

Take this shirt off my back cause I'm not sure it's mine

Come take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

Cocktail glass hits the fireplace shatters and rings

Come on back to my place the nightingale sings

She's got fire in her throat and a sting on her lips

I can see through the smoke she's got dew on her hips

Come take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

Hey where's she been hiding that magical glance

Is there love in the air or is it all in my pants

Where's she been dreaming the couch or the bed

Is there reason to live?

Or are we already dead?

Come on take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

I was holding the queen of hearts she was holding the ace

I asked her Is this where it starts?

She said

Come on look at my face

With her silk laced eyes and her magic tongue

She finally realized she was much to young

I said

Take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

Candles flickered in colors of red white and green

I asked myself if all the others had felt quite this obscene

She was perfumed cloth I was sweat and dirt

My spine revolved as she took off her shirt

I said

Take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

Hey where's she been hiding that magical touch

Is this love that I feel or just a sick silly crutch

Where's she been dreaming the couch or the bed

Is there reason to live?

Or am I already dead?

Come on take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

The morning sun like a freight train rose in the east

Expecting the most from the best and the worst from the least

We found her socks on the dresser top

There's no need to start because we decided to stop

I said take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

All the way home I was thinking that life was a joke

She touched me once or twice before her mouth spoke

She had barbed wire wrapped from her toes to her lips

As she said that she'd never felt quite like this

I said

Take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

Hey where's she been hiding that magical charm

Is she lost in the woods or right here on my arm

What does she say in her sleep when she sighs

Is she full of hellos or just full of good-byes

Come on take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

Come on take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

I said take another inch of my love and let's call it a night

Take another inch of my love and let's call it a night
