lyrics
howl at the moon
in those dog days I turned to
sear my skin, turn me inside out
a pelt to mount
to the roof of your dirty mouth
blood in my teeth, hair in my hands
at the bend
who was I to turn to?
you were sleeping in a straw house
chasing curling tail before she blew me down
which is the wolf and which is the man to you?
once bitten, twice shy
darling in the dead of night I came to life
growl at you
chained to this post when I turned onto
standing on four legs instead of two
in the morn you turned me back again
turning your back to me then
you were sleeping in a straw house
chasing curling tail before she blew me down
which is the wolf and which is the man to you?
once bitten, twice shy
tomorrow I will feel alright
in sheep's skin on your floor
I turned to you and said I can't take no more
on an empty stomach you were still half full
but you got your fill beneath the wool
in the moonlight I was an animal
and by the dawn I was held responsible
you were sleeping in a straw house
chasing curling tail before she cut me out
which is the wolf and which is the man to you?
once bitten, twice shy
I could swallow you whole
if you let me inside
in those dog days I turned to
sear my skin, turn me inside out
a pelt to mount
to the roof of your dirty mouth
blood in my teeth, hair in my hands
at the bend
who was I to turn to?
you were sleeping in a straw house
chasing curling tail before she blew me down
which is the wolf and which is the man to you?
once bitten, twice shy
darling in the dead of night I came to life
growl at you
chained to this post when I turned onto
standing on four legs instead of two
in the morn you turned me back again
turning your back to me then
you were sleeping in a straw house
chasing curling tail before she blew me down
which is the wolf and which is the man to you?
once bitten, twice shy
tomorrow I will feel alright
in sheep's skin on your floor
I turned to you and said I can't take no more
on an empty stomach you were still half full
but you got your fill beneath the wool
in the moonlight I was an animal
and by the dawn I was held responsible
you were sleeping in a straw house
chasing curling tail before she cut me out
which is the wolf and which is the man to you?
once bitten, twice shy
I could swallow you whole
if you let me inside
