Hold Me From Behind Lyrics

Let me sell you where I start the tale

It was the 19th of June and I had a place to fail

I was grappling onto a medallion of truth

But I certainly learned life beats the fuck out of you

She swung six sweets cross her septum piercing

I'm in the corner of a restaurant she's been clearing

I give her my tip, 15 off the top

Of a 20 dollar bill, then she turns and then she stops

I'm stared at, bright red her eyebrows they stand

I hope a lass as fine as she is looking for a man

But what I am not aware, it's not the wealth that she seeks

But the metal on my necklace, underneath my shirt it peaks

"Where were you born" she scrawls, she scribes and she breaks

Oh I'm just from up north, up by the Erie and lake

"Why did you come here, where did you get that," I have no clue what she means

What did I get, oh this necklace, all ordinary means

And I don't think she hears a single word that I'm saying

But life it grabs you by the throat and gets atheists praying

I'm lost in town tonight

Lost inside those eyes

Losing from the side

Losing all my mind

I can't specify

I never know why

Gold it speaks and cries

Hold me from behind

My interest in her sexually is functionally destroyed

As her eyebrows sharpen upwards, first at ease and then annoyed

"You think I don't know," she says, "You think I won't act first"

"You think I wont reach for the 9 in the pocket of my purse"

She grabs my hair and slams my head upon menus and salt

My sandwich smashed to pieces, I'm drowning in my malt

She kicks my legs out under me and throws me to the floor

"So do you need this, huh, so do you really want some more?"

I'm bloodshot, beat down, broken and bruised

It seems the 9's the only battery left unused

She snaps a ribcage, I think, and I'm left coughing up blood

It's an asswhooping for life, she leaves me slumped over in mud

"Now we talk," she's feeling talkative at last, and so I said

I have a thousand words in me, just keep the gun off of my head

"No dice, the gun moves when your lips do, it's all due"

And so I speak my first words, all demonstrably true

I found it off the pier of Oneida, wrapped in plastic, and washed up on the beach

I've worn it every day since, I just love the look, I love the feeling that it gives me

I'm lost in town tonight

Lost inside those eyes

Losing from the side

Losing all my mind

I can't specify

I never know why

Gold it speaks and cries

Hold me from behind

Lost in town tonight

Lost inside those eyes

Losing from the side

Losing all my mind

I can't specify

I never know why

Gold it speaks and cries

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind

Hold me from behind
