At home
  Suddenly I I'm a lost girl
  shattered on the floor
  covered in gore and not much more.
  You come dripping in something smelling of whiskey
  And maybe a bit of gasoline.
  You're tinged and tarnished
  Rusted in just the right places
  But come as you are
  Your tongue is so quick
  Sharp like a razor
  But oh baby does it cut in all the right places.
  Under the table favors
  pouring my favorite liquor down my throat
  From your silver shot glass.
  Smother me
  I'm getting weak.
  You throw me over your shoulder
  I'm weightless
  I am infinite
  And you are a dagger
  I thumb with
  Drawing blood
  You lick your lips while it beads up.
  I know
  This can't end well.
  Stories like these never do
  But I'll drink it down while it lasts
  Hell I'll drink to that
  I- and you for that matter will drink to anything these days. 
  You'll be another summertime
  Romance in my catalog of many
  But I think you're my favorite one
  You play with fire
  But I've always been made of ice
  You burn me up I cool you down.
  Where I know we'll go wrong though
  Is that I know
  You are made of whiskey and gasoline
  And you like a chaser of a cigarette
  And ice can't put out
  That type of fire.
