Neko Case - Whip the Blankets lyrics

Well it's hot in the yard
And it's cool in the bed
And I'll whip the blankets into cotton thread
And I'll tear all the carpet up over my head
'Til my feet can go
Right through the basement

Well you play so surprised at
What you have found
But, I heard you coming from way across town
So let's get to getting and burning it down
And the fire, it's spreading like madness

'Cause, I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start

Well, the dishes are broken and
The kitchen's a mess i'm trapped in it, doll
Why don't you make me confess
Cause it's base and delicious
To just keep you guessin'
What even it is that ignites me

'Cause, I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start

'Cause, I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line

And we'll work our way slow to the start
Well, instinct is dirty and morality's clean
And we're bound for damnation
Say those magazines
Well, to hell with the sorrow
And watered down scenes
We'll burn us a bridge straight to heaven

'Cause, I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
The foundation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
