Lady Eucalyptus - Oh Mercy

I burnt my mouth again

Now I can’t taste a thing

I held my tongue, I clenched my fists

As my brothers start to sing

I leapt into the trembling pines

Just to feel the sting

But my cards they’re all dealth and done

Now I can’t feel a thing

I swam the great canal

I cast my fears aside

I had to learn to love the view

From the other side

So take the length of your love

Lady Eucalyptus

And tie me to your trunk babe

Lady Eucalyptus

I sat impatient by the phone

Willing it to ring

But I’ve drowned my ears in passion’s spit

Now I can’t hear a thing

I wandered through the wilderness

I came upon a well

I drank it dry and licked my lips

And to her knees she fell

Take the length of your love

Lady Eucalyptus

And tie me to your trunk babe

Lady Eucalyptus

See them banks, let them burst

Let it flood, then return

In replace, give me strength

Lend me grace, lend me grace

All waterfalls and hurricanes

I made the wild look tame

But by the time I pledged my love to you

Everything had changed

So alone I dine at love’s great feast

I suck the flesh within

But I burnt my mouth, yet again

I still can’t taste a thing

Take the length of your love

Lady Eucalyptus

And tie me to your trunk babe

Lady Eucalyptus
