Lyrics
Well it's hot in the yard and it's cool in the bed
And I whip the blankets into cotton thread
And I'll tear all the carpet up over my head
'Til my feet can go right through the basement

Well you play so surprised at what you have found
But I heard you coming from way across town
So let's get to getting, I'm burning it down
I've a fire and it's spreading like madness

'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
I snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start

Well the dishes are broken and the kitchen's a mess
I'm trapped in the doorway don't you make me confess
'Cause it's base and delicious to just keep you guessing
What ether it is that ignites me

'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
And I snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start

'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
And I snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start

Well instinct is dirty and morality's clean
And we're bound for damnation say those magazines
Well to hell with the sorrow and watered-down scenes
We'll burn us a bridge straight to heaven

'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
And I snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate us apart
And you'll lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start

Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
