Youre cussing a storm in a cocktail dress
your mother wore when she was young
Red southern saint around your neck
A wet martini in a paper cup
Youre a wasp nest
Youre a wasp nest
Your eyes are broken bottles
And Im afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
Youre poison in the pretty glass
Youre a wasp nest
Youre a wasp nest
Youre all humming live wires
under your killing clothes.
Get over here, I wanna
kiss your skinny throat
Youre a wasp nest
Youre a wasp nest
Notes
Theres more than one guitar, and you start hear added notes like this.
I play this down an octave or drop the chord and move my hand up
for a moment.
