[Verse 1] My dress caught on the fence wire By the peach pit and the rust I laughed when the moon went crooked You called it holy, I called it lust Grandma said my mouth is a fire Mama said my hands are a knife I tied my shame in a ribbon And wore it out to life [Pre-Chorus] Hey now, watch me sway Three steps back, one step sideways If the room starts talking rough I turn the whole thing up [Chorus] Pink noose, pink noose Pull me pretty slow Pink noose, pink noose Where the wild things go (Pink noose) Pink noose, pink noose Sweet as poisoned wine (Pink noose) Tie me up in shine [Verse 2] There’s a snake in the prayer bowl And a peach seed in my cheek I been chewing on a thundercloud Just to make my hunger speak Your touch is a copper penny Spinning in a church plate I could bless your name in daylight Then drag it through the gate [Pre-Chorus] Hey now, watch me bend Four bright corners, no straight end If the room gets mean and loud I fold it into sound [Chorus] Pink noose, pink noose Pull me pretty slow Pink noose, pink noose Where the wild things go (Pink noose) Pink noose, pink noose Sweet as poisoned wine (Pink noose) Tie me up in shine [Bridge] I got a choir in my ribs And a match in my throat Six voices in my shadow Singing from the boat One says run, one says stay One says bite the hand One says baby, make a river Out the bloodstain sand [Final Chorus] Pink noose, pink noose Pull me pretty slow Pink noose, pink noose Where the wild things go (Pink noose) Pink noose, pink noose Sweet as poisoned wine (Pink noose) Tie me up in shine
