Sweet the Sting (Live) [Auditorium Theatre, 15/04/05]

[Intro]

Oh baby, is it sweet?

Baby, is it?

Oh baby, is it sweet?

[Verse 1]

With a strut into the room

With his hat cocked sure defiantly

He said "I- I have heard

That you can play the way I like it to be played."

I said, "I can play any way that you want

But first I want, I want to know

[Chorus 1]

Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?

Is it real, this infusion?

Can it heal where others before have failed?

If so then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane

'Cause I am inching ever closer

To the tip of this scorpion's tail"

[Post-Chorus]

Oh baby, is it sweet?

Oh baby, is it sweet now, boy?

[Verse 2]

He said, "I laid my weapons down

With my pistol fully loaded

A hunted man to my root

Will it end or begin in your cinnabar juice?"

[Chorus 2]

Is it sweet, sweet, sweet, your sting?

Is it real, your infusion?

And can it heal where others before have failed?

If so somebody shake, shake, shake me sane

'Cause I am inching ever closer

To the tip of this scorpion's tail

[Bridge]

Love let me breathe, breathe you in

Melt the confusion until there is

There is you, union

[Chorus 2]

Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet, your sting?

Is it real, yes, your infusion?

Can it heal where others before have failed?

If so somebody shake, shake, shake me sane

'Cause I am inching ever closer

To the tip of this scorpion's tail

[Outro]

Oh, baby, is it sweet, boy?

Baby, is it sweet now?

Baby, is it sweet?

Oh baby, is it sweet?
