Knife and fork — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

Chorus:
I`m comin` back home to you
Stuck to you like crazy glue
Don`t wanna go on living without
Something left to shout about
We`ll play the game of love and fate
I`ll be the knife and fork, and you be the plate...


Now welcome baby to my pad of delights
Have a drink... do you like my tights?
This switch here`ll make the lights go down low
And this one here makes all the bubbles go
The water`s warm, yes, a sunken tub
Tonight you`ll be joinin` my exclusive club
Here now do you wanna see somethin` fine?
Straight from Singapore... cost me five and nine
It`s a picture of a man and an Egyptian queen
Kept in the family, if you know what I mean


Chorus repeat


Now I know you`ll say my approach is direct
But don`t throw out this mail before you check
We go together like fish and fin
Aphrodite and Zeus, water and Gunga Din
We`ll perform here on this sacrificial slab
For your sweet, sweet love, I`ll even go back to rehab


Chorus repeat


For you I`ll even grow a pencil thin moustache
You can put me in chains... I`ll wear that wolf mask
And you can starve me in your basement for a couple of weeks
Just please let me squeeze one of your rosy cheeks
I wanna float with you on a cumulus cloud
I wanna take you far away from this maddening crowd
You can scratch up my back with your long fingernails
We`ll drink some weird wine and eat psychedelic snails
