Lyrics Lady Eucalyptus - Oh Mercy

Lady Eucalyptus

I burnt my mouth again
Now I can’t taste a thing
I held my tongue, I clenched my fists
As my brothers start to sing
I leapt into the trembling pines
Just to feel the sting
But my cards they’re all dealth and done
Now I can’t feel a thing
I swam the great canal
I cast my fears aside
I had to learn to love the view
From the other side
So take the length of your love
Lady Eucalyptus
And tie me to your trunk babe
Lady Eucalyptus
I sat impatient by the phone
Willing it to ring
But I’ve drowned my ears in passion’s spit
Now I can’t hear a thing
I wandered through the wilderness
I came upon a well
I drank it dry and licked my lips
And to her knees she fell
Take the length of your love
Lady Eucalyptus
And tie me to your trunk babe
Lady Eucalyptus
See them banks, let them burst
Let it flood, then return
In replace, give me strength
Lend me grace, lend me grace
All waterfalls and hurricanes
I made the wild look tame
But by the time I pledged my love to you
Everything had changed
So alone I dine at love’s great feast
I suck the flesh within
But I burnt my mouth, yet again
I still can’t taste a thing
Take the length of your love
Lady Eucalyptus
And tie me to your trunk babe
Lady Eucalyptus
