Neko Case

Whip The Blankets

Neko Case


Well it's hot in the yard 
And it's cool in the bed 
And I 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 if there's a ??
I'm burning it down
And the fire, it's spreading like madness

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

When the dishes are broken and the kitchen's a mess 
I'm trapped in the door 
Why don't you make me confess 
'Cause I'm tastin' delicious
To just keep you guessin' 
...

'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure 
I've snapped from my tether 
That the nation 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

When 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 
That the nation 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
