Stitch It Up

Mark Lanegan


The hounds are behind me
Footsteps following
You know you can't find me
I'm miles from the crime scene

Oh, baby, why'd you stitch it up?
Oh, baby, why'd you stitch it up?
Why'd you stitch it up?
Why'd you stitch it up?

Arson on the hillside
Down to the seaside
Chopping up a straight line
Diamonds in the death mine

Oh, baby, why'd you stitch it up?
Oh, baby, why'd you stitch it up?
Why'd you stitch it up?
Why'd you stitch it up?

Bang bang, tick-tok
Stolen grandfather clock
Payout for the car crash
Suffering the whiplash

Oh, baby, why'd you stitch it up?
Oh, baby, why'd you stitch it up?
Why'd you stitch it up?
Why'd you stitch it up?

(Why'd you stitch it up, baby?)
(Why'd you stitch it up, baby?)

The beast walks next to me
Infrared blinding
Ropes can't bind me
Knife still inside me
