I love to see a milky white angel
Getting her deserved rest
Drooling into my chest hair
And softly saying our love nest
We held each other up on the bobbing streets to hold
She humored my softness, recognizing good intentions
I'll let your spider eat my fly
If i can scratch your bone
And never let me catch you with another
Unless to teach me a lesson
Sweetheart couldn't do better
I eat much like a ramrod
I got a whale of a wild heart now
If heaven's tits were gleaming up to tease me
I'd tumble down the basement stairs
To live amongst the dog beds and the piping
And eavesdrop when you slip into the tub
You'll howl with all your doors closed
And you watch me stumble past
A golden gilded stumbleweed
A husband that will last
Sweetheart, you couldn't do better
I eat much like a ramrod
I have a whale of a wild heart tonight
