Honey Or Tar
View chords used in this chart
C Em
I undressed you with my eyes I have
G
Maybe even raped you
G Am
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
Am
I tucked you there
Am
And touched you in a dream last night
D
Pushed you aside when you entered
D C
My thoughts at the wrong time
C Em
I have sat up upon your lap and
G
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
Am
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
D
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
C Em G
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine
Am
While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
D
You may have been one
C
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Em G
Even barer than a child's
Am D
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
D C Em G
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
G
Yearning that stirs
Am
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
D C
Like sap rising or honey or tar.
