Lyrics for She Towers Above

She towers above She holds the sky She throws down She holds the sky Snakes will crawl Through a fiery ring She don't need no king She don't need no king She towers above She towers above me Raindrops a-stain Again her cheek She is the secret Of your hat trick Gray and silver Molten lead Her kiss is a drum Placed deep inside your head But she towers above Towers above me There's a cowboy in the kitchen There's a miner in the den That's a miner There's a doctor in the waiting room And she is saving him for last And you can climb the staircase to her altar Where she will bless you with sin An iron horse Will sweat and moan While she dances With her doll carved out of bone Her lips are made With her jelly spread Her kiss is a drum Placed inside your head She towers above She towers above She towers above She towers above me
