Owl John
Don't Take Off The Gloves
She’s across the ring, spitting pink, menace flicking slursI’m on the floor, wretched ball, poet with my wordsSo come at me with that savage streak, howling to be lovedJust don’t take off the glovesTwo vicious drunks’ teeth have sunk into an open woundConnection lost as though I caught dementia from the moonSo come at me when I’m weak, degraded, and undoneJust don’t take off the glovesThat sucker punch, that brittle touchAnd the cut keeps dripping but the blood won’t thickenThere’s poison in the tap waterThere’s poison in the tap waterThat sucker punch, that brittle touchAnd the cut keeps dripping but the blood won’t thickenThere’s poison in the tap waterThere’s poison in the tap waterHere it falls again by buried green on bare electric wire How we find this demon lights a heavy-handed fireWe’re kissing drinks, spilling wind, howling to be lovedOh don’t take off, don’t take off the glovesThat sucker punch, that brittle touchSongtexteAnd the cut keeps dripping but the blood won’t thickenThere’s poison in the tap waterThere’s poison in the tap waterThat sucker punch, that brittle touchAnd the cut keeps dripping but the blood won’t thickenThere’s poison in the tap waterThere’s poison in the tap water
