Beehive (Strength)

Desires of the flesh
Those long nights I regret
These moments I will soon forget
My body spent

I've done my time
In the red corners, climbed high
I swell and shrink
I'm entering the twilight of my life
Where the sun don't shine

Choke it down
Inviting whatever surrender may come marching through me
I never imagined it'd end that way
I never imagined it'd end that way

And there I am
I'm asleep in my harness
I'm suspended by the webs I weave

I head outside
It's a lonesome kind of night
Cars all stopped along the ice
It looks like Christmas time
I slip and slide
Shift the four wheel drive
It was worth it all the while
It was worth it all the while

Oh,
Inviting whatever surrender may come marching through me
I never imagined it'd end that way
I never imagined it, oh
Inviting whatever surrender may come marching through me
(No, no)
I never imagined it'd end that way

White holler, just plum fresh
Dance the beehive in a thrift store dress
Do it, oh
I ain't here for the conversation
Just make me scream

There I am
Asleep in my harness
Suspended by the webs I weave

Some jasper from up yonder
Just passes right by my car
My face torn up and frozen
Like a movie star
Long time listener, first time caller
I'm stuck chewing my cigar
No one hears me when I holler
No one leaves the reservoir

I never thought it'd end this way
I never imagined it'd end that way
(I never thought it'd end this way)
I never imagined it'd end that way
(I never thought it'd end this way)
I never imagined it'd end that way
I never imagined it'd end that way
I never imagined it'd end that way
