Knife Fork

Stan Ridgway

Chorus:
Im comin back home to you
Stuck to you like crazy glue
Dont wanna go on living without
Something left to shout about
Well play the game of love and fate
Ill be the knife and fork, and you be the plate...

Now welcome baby to my pad of delights
Have a drink... do you like my tights?
This switch herell make the lights go down low
And this one here makes all the bubbles go
The waters warm, yes, a sunken tub
Tonight youll be joinin my exclusive club
Here now do you wanna see somethin fine?
Straight from singapore... cost me five and nine
Its a picture of a man and an egyptian queen
Kept in the family, if you know what I mean

Chorus repeat

Now I know youll say my approach is direct
But dont throw out this mail before you check
We go together like fish and fin
Aphrodite and zeus, water and gunga din
Well perform here on this sacrificial slab
For your sweet, sweet love, Ill even go back to rehab

Chorus repeat

For you Ill even grow a pencil thin moustache
You can put me in chains... Ill wear that wolf mask
And you can starve me in your basement for a couple of weeks
Just please let me squeeze one of your rosy cheeks
I wanna float with you on a cumulus cloud
I wanna take you far away from this maddening crowd
You can scratch up my back with your long fingernails
Well drink some weird wine and eat psychedelic snails
