black willow - dick valentine lyrics

thin skins gets you nothing but love sore
you can wipe yourself clean but you’ll mess up like before
strut in my direction and let me slip into your clothes
and i saw as she undressed, a tattoo on her breast
a black willow

i took her number from the back of a newspaper
next to the obituaries; i knew that i might need it later
the wicked rain poured hard upon the lane
where no roses, only th*rns grow
say won’t you wring the tears out of my clothes
black willow

she said
taste the poison but don’t finish your drink yet
she tied me up and then she went for a cigarette
why must we suffer the love; why must we love to suffer
maybe friction makes the flame
it’s why we die to tame each other

cheap talkers don’t make the phone ring
heavy sleepers don’t break the bed springs
interventions of the flesh, where our bodies get blessed
as she crawled into the window
for the curtains they were drawn
in the morning she was gone
black willow
and so the story goes until the bitter end
two shots of bourbon and i’m back on the road again
where does the man begin, where does the animal end
will i ever know
i think it about it every day and i try to get away
black willow
