Sticky Side Up

(album: Tangled In Reins - 1992)

Standing on the front line, a bullet in my head
Run a bad luck highway mile, riding the rails naked and dead
Sins of the flesh, seasons of the witch
Ain't nobody gonna scratch my itch
Spin another lie and tell me it's alright, yeah it's alright
It's ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Chorus:]
Smooth side down, sticky side up
Watch me drown in your loving cup
Nail me to the floor, roll me in the rug
Smooth side down, sticky sticky side up
Scratching on the back door, ringing in my ears
Hang dog on a ball and chain, getting high on the Devil's tears
Give me a shovel, I'll dig my own grave
Rooster go pimping for some other slave
The knife's in my back, smile and tell me it's alright, yeah it's alright
It's ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

[Chorus]

Smooth side down, sticky side up
Watch me drown in your loving cup
Nail me to the floor, roll me in the rug
Smooth side down, sticky sticky sticky sticky side

[Solo]

(Oh yeah) Smooth side down (oh smooth it up, baby, that's right)

[Chorus 2x]

Smooth side down, sticky sticky, sticky sticky, sticky sticky side up!
