Machine Head

Anticipating, salivating, intoxicating
How I've been waiting
To gently soak in
Your dream that's broken
Caress my hands
Around your throat
When I choke the last gasp of air out of you
I'll mesmerize you, hypnotize you
Paralyze you, my snake eyes blind you
My tenderest tickle, my gentlest prickle
The back of your neck
I stab icicles
My sweetest grin will pull you in
Behind that grin a razor teeth smile
Under your bed
Inside your head
I am the monster in wait
Walk, run
I'm the fear you've become
Pray, hope
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down
I patronize you, victimize you
My false pretenses endear me to you
I'm psychopathic, psychosomatic
Believe everything you've heard about me
