Up The Neck Lyrics - Pretenders

Anger and lust my senses running amok 

Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? 

When my tongue lay inside his lip 

Felt like the time in the womb 

But I woke up with a headache that split my skull 

Alone in the room 

I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees 

Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh 

I said "baby, oh sweetheart" 

Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug 

Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile 

I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill 

I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest 

It was all very run of the mill 

But I noticed his scent started to change somehow 

His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow 

I said "baby, oh sweetheart" 

Bondage to lust, abuse of facility 

Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee 

I was sure his intentions were sweet 

And that mine was as well 

But a wish is a shot in the dark 

When your coin's down the well
