The Missionary Position - Diamonds in a Dead Sky (2009)

When I Get My Hands On You


The sky is on fire

And the dream is just out of reach

So I returned to the liar’s tears

Just like a wave returns to the beach

Why can’t you be cool

I’ve been getting high since grade school

And when you’re in need of my fever

Don’t I always deliver?

You know I tried

And if you’re looking for a wild horse to ride

You might have found more than you can handle

Cause there’s no telling what I’ll do

When I get my hands on you

Cause nothing that comes out of my mouth is true

So you spent six months alone

With no mother’s arms to hold you

And the first word to fall from your lips was please

Now you’ve been living on your knees

Cause you can’t afford the habit

If you want it baby

Just reach out and grab it

Cause it’s all for you - Everything

You know I tried

And if you’re looking for a wild horse to ride

You might have found more than you can handle

Cause there’s no telling what I’ll do

When I get my hands on you

Cause nothing that comes out of my mouth is true

Do you feel the hands around your throat?
