A Shell Across The Tongue

Her hands clasped round my collar
She threatens me
Says "I remember who you used to be"
Well, I don’t deal with feeling comfortable
Oh, I don't deal with that at all

He scraped a shell across my tongue
He scraped a shell across my tongue
To let the boy know he’d done wrong
Well, he's done wrong
He's done wrong
He's done wrong again, he winks and
Fingers the buttons on my cuffs

Well, I don’t deal with feeling comfortable
Oh, I don't deal with that at all

And he scraped a shell across my tongue
He scraped a shell across my tongue
To let the boy know he’d done wrong
Well he's done wrong
He's done wrong
He's done wrong

And I’ll never lie again
Oh, why would I lie to you?
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie to you?
Why would I lie to you?
