From the recording Born on A Monday
Straight up dirty song (which was fun to write, although I'm no Prince or Steven Tyler). I thought it needed a full arrangement, but Andy convinced me to leave it a cappella.
Lyrics
Tongue in cheek, tongue in groove
Tug on my heart, it goes boom, boom, boom
Love is slow, like the speed of sound
It floats through the air, then slams down, down, down
Suppose it's me, in roses red
Or incense and oils, if you prefer them instead
Wine runs warm, as it flows from my mouth
It drips from my lips, then rolls down, down, down
Sometimes she comes, hard and fast
Like a shotgun blast in the head
And sometimes she comes, slow and sweet
Knocks me off of my feet, till the walls fall around me instead
Against the wall, behind the stairs
She lets out a sigh, as she unties her hair
Watch it flow, as she turns me around
Ain't no going back, when she goes down, down, down
She got me right where I wanna be
She makes it hard as it has to be
There's something coming in front of me
Stronger than the force of gravity
The meter's red, as red as my eyes
There ain't no reprieve from her playing tonight
Sounds so sweet, so heavy and round
The faders give up, when she goes down, down, down
Whatever the cost, I know what it's worth
I'd follow her down, to the core of the earth
To the moon hung low, she's the goddess unbound
She gets what she wants, when she goes down, down, down
