The Triffids - Baby Can I Walk You Home lyrics

You can run me on a leash You can make me beg You can crack the whip on me I'll roll over and play dead You can take my self-esteem The flesh from off of my bones You can hurt me all you want But baby, baby, please Can I just walk you home? Well, you can throw sand in my face You can make me kneel You can rub salt in my wounds So they may never heal You can drain the blood from my veins Leave me lifeless as a stone You can hang me out in the coldroom But baby, honey, please Can I just walk you home? You can take me for a ride You can let me down You can leave me frozen and naked On the wrong side of town You can hand me bound and gagged To those whose violence you condone You can watch as they mess me up But baby, honey, please Can I just walk you home? You can violate my temples You can penetrate my wounds You can scrawl upon my headstone You can desecrate my tomb You can overturn my tables Cast me out to the unknown You can even shut the city gates But hey there gorgeous please Can I... Can I just walk you home?
