Lyrics

I saw you were glad I was home

So now you won't be alone

Hold my hand let's walk a while

Wait a lifetime to see you smile

I left today and now I'm home

So far away and you're alone

Kiss me now I'm back with you

Hold me now, and trust me too

Scoped around, now what's in store

Make me see so much more

Hold me down and lift me up

I pour some coffee in my cup

I left a priceless mind to shame

Caused myself to go insane

But with the grapes that I peel for you

I pour the wine and cook the Belgian stew

The motherfucker hit me left now hit me right

Scream in my ear, now scream all night

Drag me in then throw me out

Ain't this what love's about?

Now be my bitch, be my dream

Play on my side of the team

Hold me close and squeeze me tight

Until the lovers' moon tonight

Yee-haw!

I saw you were glad I was home home home

So now you won't be alone

Hold my hand let's walk a while

Wait a lifetime to see you smile

I left today and now I'm home

So far away and you're alone

Kiss me now I'm back with you

Hold me now, and trust me too

Scoped around, now what's in store

Make me see so much more

Hold me down and lift me up

Now pour some coffee in my cup

I left a priceless mind to shame

Caused myself to go insane

With the grapes that I peel for you

I pour the wine and cook the Belgian stew

The motherfucker hit me left now hit me right

Scream in my ear, now scream all night

Now drag me in then throw me out

Ain't this what love is all about?

Now be my bitch, be my dream

Play on my side of the team

Now hold me close and squeeze me tight

Until the lovers' moon tonight

Yee-haw!

Yee-haw!

Yee-haw!

Yee-haw!

Let's stand amongst the fields of Katie

Let me hold your ice cream eyes

Remember all the drives

And the love, remember it all?

And the sucker, you're all fucked now

The pain you drain, I follow in drippings from the main frame, hallucinations of-
