lyrics

You’re just a boy,
but your fingers are so sore

You made a game of winding twine
around them so tight,
so you could keep a good score

But I’d set you free
I’d cut all them strings,
except one little one for me

And then I’d wind it tighter, tighter, tighter—
watch that piggy hit the floor!
I’m just trying to remind you
that my love is pure
I’d do it for you, love—
they wouldn’t call you that name anymore

You’re such a pretty little boy,
but your health is so poor

They started at your skin
They picked your bones clean
They stripped you down to your core

And now there’s none of you left
But I’d nurse you health
I’d stitch you up by myself

I’d tear off all the leeches
that make love to your veins
They’re obsequious, beseeching you
a spot on your brain
I’d suck your gutters dry, love—
they wouldn’t call you that name anymore

They’re out for your blood
I’m out for your love
They’re out for your guts
I’m out for your love
They’re out for your stuff
I’m out for your love

I’m out for your love, love

And they might want what’s inside your glove,
but I want your love
They might want to wipe down your gun,
but I want your love
They might want to give you a shove or two or three,
but I want your love

Give me your love, love
I’ll give you my love, love
Give me your love, love,
love, love, love, love
