lyrics

Lips like licorice
Blood red, dripping for a feast
Those thigh highs blind
You're a beauty and a beast
I gotta know, do you feel the vibes through
The heat waves that radiate
I want you, do you want me too?
I got a pocketful of rubber and the end of time
You gotta tell me what I gotta do to make you mine
I took the bait, I ate the hook, now you just pull the line
Help me, help me, I want you by the end of the night

By the end of the night

I got a thousand vices, I got a million regrets
I've learned to take the hard knocks, I've learned to hedge my bets
You like the pleasure with the pain? Let me take a guess
The perfect chaser for the sex: candy cigarettes

I heard a theory that you're sugar and spice
Got a part of you that bites back
I like that, that's nice
So come and show me what you're trying to do
I've got a couple shots of something in me
I've got something to give to you
I got a pocketful of rubber and the end of time
You gotta tell me what I gotta do to make you mine
I took the bait, I ate the hook, now you just pull the line
Help me, help me, I want you by the end of the night

By the end of the night

I got a thousand vices, I got a million regrets
I've learned to take the hard knocks, I've learned to hedge my bets
You like the pleasure with the pain? Let me take a guess
The perfect chaser for the sex: candy cigarettes
You've got an eager sweet tooth, well you don't need the rest
Just roll another one and place your hand upon my chest
You like the pleasure with the pain? Let me take a guess
I'll have you coming back for more candy cigarettes
