Poison Pen Lyrics - Swing The Heartache- Bbc Sessions (live) - Bauhaus

Sprawled face down on this swiss stained iron bed 

In a dismal cheap hotel 

With my one arm injured 

And the sweat stained billowous murk 

From my last cold turkey attack 

I tremble and shiver at the sound outside my door 

Instrument of release by my side 

The spike, the hose, the blackened spoon 

The can or sterno red 

I wait, and I wait, spread eagled half dead 

Waiting for my man 

(Waiting for my man) 

Waiting for my man 

(Waiting for my man) 

Waiting for my man 

(Waiting for my man) 

Waiting for my man 

Yea 

I wait for my fit, the footsteps fall 

For the black man's staccatto knock 

I wait he doesn't show 

I wait he doesn't show 

I wait he doesn't show 

Get this monkey off my back 

Get this monkey off my back 

Get this monkey off my back 

Get this monkey off my back 

Off my back 

Off my back 

Off my back 

Off my back
