Shovels & Rope
Wolf Like Me
[Verse 1]
Say, say, my playmate
Won't you lay hands on me
Mirror my malady
Transfer my tragedy
Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
When the moon is round and full
Gotta bust that box, gotta gut that fish
[Verse 2]
We could jet in a stolen car
Where we wouldn't get too far
'Fore the transformation takes
And the bloodlust takes
And the crave gets slaked
[Chorus 1]
My mind has changed
My body's frame
But god, I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained
But god I like it
My mind has changed
My body's frame
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained
But god I like it
[Verse 3]
Charge me your day rate
I'll turn you out in kind
When the moon is round and full
Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mind
Baby doll, I recognize
You're a hideous thing inside
If ever there were a lucky kind
It's you, you, you
[Chorus 2]
I know it's strange
Another way
To get to know you
You'll never know
Unless we go
So let me show you
I know it's strange
Another way
To get to know you
We've got 'til noon
Here comes the moon
So let me show you, show you
[Verse 3]
Dream me, oh Dreamer, down to the floor
Open my hands and let them weave onto yours
Fill me, Completer, down to my core
Open my heart and let it bleed onto yours
Feedin' on fever, down on all fours
Show you what all that howlin's for
[Verse 4]
Hey! Hey! My playmate
Let me lay waste to thee
Burn down their hangin' trees
It's hot here, hot here, hot here, hot here
[Verse 5]
Got a curse we cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
There's a cure, comes with a kiss
The bite that binds, the gift that gives
Now that we're gone for good
Writhin' under your ridin' hood
Tell your grandma, mama too
It's true, true, it's true
[Chorus 1]
My mind has changed
My body's frame
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained
But god I like it
My mind has changed
My body's frame
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained
But god I like it
