Black Honey

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.

I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees cause I

I want honey on my table

I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees cause I

I want honey on my table

But I never get it right

No, I never get it right

I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees

I can't understand why they're stingin me

But I'll do what I want

I'll do what I please

I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need

I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest

Do you understand I deserve the best?

Til you do what I want

I'll do what I please

I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need

I try to stick this pin through a butterfly cause I

I like all the pretty colors

It just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire

To burn with all the others

Cause I never get it right

No, I never get it right

I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees

I can't understand why they're stinging me

But I'll do what I want

I'll do what I please

I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need

I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest

Do you understand I deserve the best?

Til you do what I want

I'll do what I please

I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need

This time, I'll get it right

This time, I'll get it right

It's gonna be this time

I'll get it right

God, let it be this time

I get it right

So I'm cuttin' that branch off the cherry tree

Singin' this will be my victory

Then I

See them comin' after me

And they're followin me across the sea

And now they're stingin my friends and my family

And I

Don't know why this is happening

But I'll do what I want

I'll do what I please

I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need

I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees

Cause I, I want honey on my table
