Lyrics

Human Knot

I got your back
I realised that you're gonna waste your pretty on me
I got your back
So don't overreact
I got to hurt me another story
I got your back
But you got to relax
You're my lover, not a missionary
I got your back, it's always been like that
It'll always be like that

What a bind
One hell of a human knot
Am I not human?
Oh, baby, what a bind

Collusion, no way to loosen
Headlocks and double knots
Collusion, damn right I'm choosing
Head-fucks and paradox

What a bind
One hell of a human knot
Am I not human?
Oh, baby, what a bind
What a bind
One hell of a human knot
Am I not human?
Oh, baby, what a bind
Am I not human?

I got your back
Well, like a finger trap
You got to push in to get released
I got your back, it's always been like that
It'll always be like that
