Tie Me To The Length Of That
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was born the doctor didnt like me.
He grabbed my ankles, held me like a turkey.
Dear mommy, whyd you let him hit me?
This was wrong, I knew you didnt love me.
(there is selection, many shapes and sizes.
Variety, fondling surprises.
The syllables, trigger happy opposites.
Encountering those devious devices.
Satisfying all that you are craving.
Considering life is now worth saving.)
I keep these feelings deep inside my body.
Its not the union both of us expected.
Remember daddy, when you made him hold me?
Safe in his arms, then the bastard dropped me.
Tie me to the length of that
Youll be sorry you dont love me.
Something is happening to my body.
Nature is those little bits and pieces.
Tie me to the length of that
When I was born the doctor didnt like me.
He grabbed my ankle, held me like a turkey.
Dear mommy, whyd you let him hit me?
This was wrong, I knew you didnt love me.
I keep these feelings deep inside my body.
Its not the union both of us expected.
Remember daddy, when you made him hold me?
Safe in his arms, then the bastard dropped me.
Ooh, ahh... pretty, pretty baby.
Pretty baby. baby, baby, baby.
Tie me to the length of that
Considering life is now worth saving.
You stupid drunk, the rope is slipping off me.
Pretty baby. pretty, pretty baby
Ooh, ahh... what a lovely little baby.
There is selection, many shapes and sizes.
Variety, fondling surprises.
The syllables, trigger happy opposites.
Encountering those devious devices.
Satisfying all that you are craving.
Considering, is this life worth saving?
Tie me to the length of that
Until the end
