Hair to the Ferris Wheel

Take me by the arm to the altar
Take me by the collar to the cliff
Take me by the waist to the water
Take me by the hair to the ferris wheel
Take me by the wrist to the river
Take me by the braid down to my grave
Oh o oh oh, oh o oh
Love is selfish
Love goes tick-tock-tick
And love knows Jesus
Apples and oranges
Oh oh oh

It's a zoo in your room when you part your lips
And you long to kiss like you won't exist
Come the morning time
Come the sunrise
And all I'd like to do this afternoon
Is to drag the mattress up to the roof
Hush tones in the ears from the airplane next to you
Let's crawl all over one another
Like crows on a carcass
Like ants on a crumb
Starving only
Starving only
For the taste of tongues

Love is selfish
Love goes tick-tock
Tick-tock-tick
And love knows Jesus
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Love is selfish
Love goes tick-tock-tick
And love knows Jesus
Apples and oranges
Oh no no

Take me by the arm to the altar
Take me by the collar to the cliff
Take me by the waist to the water
Take me by the hair to the ferris wheel
Take me by the wrist to the river
Take me by the braid down to my grave
