Lillies and Ghosts

Chicken Wire

Oh darlin', 

I'm tongue tied and hypnotized,

You got those steely eyes,

Metaphorically,

Hypnotically,

Wrapped in chicken wire.

So bite your pretty,

Bubble gum pink lips,

My dear.

Don't you spit your drugs,

At my own,

I'm nearly addicted by the image of you.

Wrap me up in chicken wire,

A mousy Kansan girl's kryptonite,

I've got an appetite,

For your voice tonight,

Sweet like sugar.

What a mess I'm in, I swear.

Physically impaired by your smile,

Talk for a little while.

The way you speak can keep,

Me on edge for hours.

Choke me with your chicken wire,

Shut me down, pull it out,

With those pretty lies you spout,

Bring me to my knees,

Hang my heart from the trees.

Lead me on,

Woo me with your songs.

Honey, I'm your's.

Baby, for sure.

Honey, I'm your's.

Baby for sure.

Why won't you lift me higher?

Got me wrapped up in chicken wire.
