Tori Amos - Sweet the Sting lyrics

Sweet, sweet, sweet now sweet sting

With a strut into the room
With his hat cocked sure defiantly
He said "I I have heard
That you can play the way I
Like it to be played"
I said, "I can play any way that you want
But first I want, I want to know

Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?
Is it real, this infusion?
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody shake, shake
Shake me sane
'Cause, I am inching ever closer
To the tip of this scorpion's tail"

Sweet, sweet, sweet now

He said, "I laid my weapons down
With my pistol fully loaded
A hunted man to my root
Will it end or begin in your cinnabar juice?"

Is it sweet, sweet, sweet, your sting?
Is it real, your infusion?
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody, shake, shake
Shake me sane
'Cause, I am inching ever closer
To the tip of this scorpion's tail

Love let me breathe, breathe you in
Melt the confusion until there is
There is you, union

Is it sweet, sweet, sweet, your sting?
Is it real, your infusion?
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody, shake, shake
Shake me sane
'Cause, I am inching ever closer
To the tip of this scorpion's tail

Sweet, sweet, sweet now
Baby, is it sweet, now, now? Sweet, sweet
Baby, is it sweet, boy?
Sweet, sweet, sweet now baby, is it sweet?
