Everybody Eats When They Come To My House - Cab Calloway

You took me from the wild Maybe you didn't think that I would see them again Can't let me go, I've seen your face, did you plan it out? When you bound me to the bed, baby, I was strained I'm not in pain I've seen your shame before You're the capture, I'm the captive Almost sink, its descending You're the way out, and I'm the way in I'm complaisant, I'm the taken Ohh, collapse into my arms and escape the pain Ohh, you and me Worlds apart We're different entities We're crawlin' over hot coals, blood-soaked, pain is our remedy Ice cold, real slow, love with the enemy If they know, that you know They will come for you Why don't you cut me loose? I've conformed of the fear and the risk that you put me in Emotionless, in the evening light When you hand me in Will I lose you to something much bigger than us? I'm the volunteer, I could disappear for you Tied up by chance You fed my flame You took me physically I'm yours so willingly Ohh, collapse into my arms and escape the pain Ohh, you and me Worlds apart We're different entities We're crawlin' over hot coals, blood-soaked, pain is our remedy Ice cold, real slow, love with the enemy If they know, that you know They will come for you Mm-mm, when they come for you Mm-mm, when they come for you Mm-mm, when they come for you Mm-mm, when they come for you

When you come across the sea Me like a beacon, guiding you to safety The sooner the better now And when you come The hills will breathe like a baby Pulled up, heaving from the bottom of the ocean The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions And that is why I stumble to my knees And why, underneath the Heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know why I could never let you down When you come When you come like an iceberg float in darkness Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea I should know you better now And when you come, your majesty to entrap me Prince of light receding The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses hard like armour The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions, hey And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the Heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know why I could never let you down She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from the distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come When you come Cover the ground (cover the ground) With ashes, with ashes Baby, when you come Nothing changes, now When you come Burning and exploding When you come When you come

I'm gonna get out If it's the last thing that I do And in my heart My 15 minutes are burned through I won't come back to fall off track The way that I survived It's a violent world But today I'm still alive I need you to tell me everything will be alright To chase away the voices in the night When they call my name Have I gone insane? These thoughts will kill me And everything that I hold true And as I grow I let my fear replace my youth I won't turn back I won't cross that hidden danger line It's a loud and dark world But I think I found the light I need you to tell me everything will be alright To chase away the voices in the night When they call my name Have I gone insane? I need you to tell me everything will be alright To chase away the voices in the night When they call my name Have I gone insane? I need you to tell me everything will be alright To chase away the voices in the night When they call my name Have I gone insane?
