Like I Do

(album: Lowcountry - 2010)

I've been getting high
Spending nights
With the television on in black and white
In a room that's dressed in red
Turning water into wine
With a lady who
Must be made of porcelain and fire
And she breathes just like I do

She shivered like a good bride
Should and I swear just like July
Lick the flesh from every bone
'Til we're satisfied

You should have seen your eyes widen
At the sight of my hands
Ripping apart those vows
Bucket of water for every
Match she struck for me
But maybe
This is meant to be
Lady this is meant to be

Staring in the mirror
Without a stitch on, hands tied 'round
Her hips and wondering who is
Staring back at me?
So we drowned him in the pool, her in the ocean
Bury the bodies in a park just down the street
And then crawled back in bed

She don't shimmer like the others do
But she sweats like July
Lick the flesh from every bone
'Til we're satisfied, oh

I've been getting high
And she breathes just like I do
