lyrics

Lay on a bed of tiger lilies
Twist your body, curve your spine
Give me love or give me pity, I just wanna make you mine
Hold me closer, lucid dreamer
Hold me till the end of time
I come to the call of a crooked finger
Take me across the borderline

This phantom limb is stinging, hurting
The love of my life, this beast of burden
Yeah

My honey gets better as she ages
A fine wine made of sour grapes
Forbidden fruit, so sweet, she's a peach
But she has a nasty aftertaste
She'll always be my tiger lily
Regardless of what she might say
Don't need your love, don't need your pity
Thunder mother go away

This phantom limb is stinging, hurting
The love of my life, this beast of burden
Yeah
