Lyrics for Annie-Dog

Amphetamine annie-dog Has her leash and a face Her velvet spleen her shackle spine Her dimond curse It comes with mine A vessel she For violent I Confession arms a wake Mine, mine you were always mine Possessed by my taste And below the angel dog Combs her hair and sings her psalms The bombs go off She doesn't notice It all goes wrong She sets things tragic She is venus She is mars She's electric And the struggle of Upon my face we leave no trace But in her stomach mercury aged She holds the blood She carves the knives She digs the wives in our babies Amphetamine annie-dog Pulls her trash And her stories From place to place And bed to bed Gives of herself and the magnet head Another floor another ceiling Counting stairs with double meanings Is it wrong to be swallowed whole To disappear in her To give her the priceless peace Of giving up control We tumble out into the streets And annie-dog she drags her leash Pretty face Ugly mouth Bitter bred and so released And by the no And by the yes Annie goes if you couldn't guess A simple man A sycophant Her elephant with the laughing call She wants clean sheets And fresh flowers And dental shots And the hong kong glue Amphetamine annie-dog Has her leash and a face
