Hold Her Tight

(album: Foolishman - 2017)

A praying mantis prays
For praying lover to decapitate
And no I don't believe in fate
But no, I think she's fond of it

It could've happened anywhere
A car park or any square
She doesn't care for scenery
When you commit your crimes

She's got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eyes

Fight and pull and twist her hair
For you to hold your breath and stare
For right that went for far too long
The world as you know it is gone

In preparation for your sin
You struggle to pull off your ring
You pocket it and front a smile
She knows you're a cliche

She's got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eyes

(She's got you, so hold her tight)
(How have you ended with her tonight?)
(Make your morning coffee, make up your lies)
(How have you ended with her tonight?)

You split your women into two
One, angels first, then prostitutes
Your wife is going to fly away
Your lover's going to make you pay

You think you can have it your own way
Play horse to your own cavalry
But when the curtain falls
They leave you spiraling to your fall

She's got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eyes

You thought that you could take a bite if you ran
Many miles away from the day-to-day plan
Pure in it's turn the darkness unfold
Dig in deep to find his gold

It's a love to tarnish it too quick
You've done the deed and you feel sick
You smell nothing but an unknown scent
You've spent more than you can spend

(She's got you, so hold her tight)
(How have you ended with her tonight?)
(Make your morning coffee, make up your lies)
(How have you ended with her tonight?)

She's got you, so hold her tight
How have you ended with her tonight?
Make your morning coffee, make up your lies
Try not to look your wife in the eyes

(She's got you, so hold her tight)
(How have you ended with her tonight?)
(Make your morning coffee, make up your lies)
(Try not to look your wife in the eyes)
