Lyrics for Whip The Blankets

Well it's hot in the yard And it's cool in the bed And I whip the blankets into cotton thread And I'll tear all the carpet up over my head 'Til my feet can go right through the basement Well you play so surprised at what you have found But I heard you coming from way across town So let's get to getting to burning it down And the fire, it's spreading like madness 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start When the dishes are broken and the kitchen's a mess I'm trapped in the door Why don't you make me confess 'Cause I'm tastin' delicious To just keep you guessin' Whatever it is, that ignites me 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start When instinct is dirty and morality's clean And we're bound for damnation say those magazines Well to hell with the sorrow and watered-down scenes We'll burn us a bridge straight to heaven. 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
