Onto You

You took your time in preparation
Got your ducks all in a row
Dotted your i's and crossed out everything that'd
Ever let them know
You want it right, right,
Say baby, are the ropes too tight?

You concealed all your intentions
And her tears inside a sack and as you
Drove out to the desert you knew the
Wind would hide your tracks
She didn't fight, fight,
No baby, you wouldn't put up with that

But I'll be there to greet you when you come back

Back you in a corner cuz your pound of flesh is due
The lies you have forsaken will awake anew
Say that you feel nothing well we'll see if that is true
It's gonna come back tenfold onto you

You headed westward in direction killed the lights and had a smoke
Turned down the radio to hear the words that dared escape her throat
It'd be alright, right
Oh baby, I don't know about that

But you don't have to worry about walking back

Back you in a corner cuz your pound of flesh is due
The lies you have forsaken will awake anew
Say that you feel nothing well we'll see if that is true
It's gonna come back tenfold onto you

Lifted her gently from the backseat
(when the lights go out, it's turn-and-turn-about)
And you kissed her tear-stained cheek
(when the lights go out, it's turn-and-turn-about)
And as she begged for her life for the last time
You put her to sleep

Within the film across her eyes you saw the light die in your own
And as you laid down in the sand a sense of finally coming home
You're gonna burn, the tables turned, and that's that

Cuz what you took from her you must give back

Back you in a corner cuz your pound of flesh is due
The lies you have forsaken will awake anew
Say that you feel nothing well we'll see if that is true
It's gonna come back, it's gonna come back
Back you in a corner cuz your pound of flesh is due
(when the lights go out)
Back you in a corner cuz your pound of flesh is due
(it's turn-and-turn-about)
Say that you feel nothing well we'll see if that is true
It's gonna come back tenfold onto you
