I wanna taste blood and lightning

And if baby hates the corner wait

till baby meets the shelf

Reaction just to feel

With yourself under my heel

Am G
(Tell me)Is it fire is it thunder

Underneath blankets and sheets

It’s the scratching and the biting
C F
fighting for a single breath
Am G
But you’ll never feel more alive
C N.C.
once you’ve felt a little death
[Chorus]
