  • I fantasize to feel you like a bullet
    And all your layers to the fullest
    But the heavens won't condone it, mm
    You deceivin', wayward woman
    You're a false prophet at the pulpit
    The condition of your soul is erodin'

    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control, yeah, as you pull me close
    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control

    As your flatter talk shivers down my spine
    I hear the Holy One exposin' all the lies
    Lord, forgive me, I know my flesh needs to die
    She has the lips red as cherry wine
    A poisonous kiss, she's part of the swine
    My salvation won't be sacrificed

    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control, yeah, as you pull me close
    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control

    But I don't wanna stop, yeah, I just need to see
    If your love's the truth or the spirit of deceit
    No, I don't wanna talk, baby, give it all to me
    There's honey drippin' from your teeth

    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control, yeah, as you pull me close
    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control
    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control, yeah, as you pull me close
    Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
    Oh, I'm gonna lose control

    (Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical)
    But I don't wanna stop, yeah, I just need to see
    (Oh, I'm gonna lose control, yeah, as you pull me close)
    If your love's the truth or the spirit of deceit
    (Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical)
    No, I don't wanna talk, baby, give it all to me
    (Oh, I'm gonna lose control)
