A brief flight of fancy a sweet bagatelle

A night of adventure in an unmarked hotel

Rucking and scrumming

I did not see you coming

Your game face did not show the tell

Did not show the tell



Left for the vultures and staked to the ground

I look for your favors but none can be found

Pressed into service

Your eyes make me nervous

This fighter pilots' gone down



After midnight I'm caught in your grip

Come the morning you give me the slip

Will you love me or will you be cruel

Kiss me or kick like a mule?



Now I'm howling for your kind of love

The thrill of the knife edge the sting of the glove

My depredation, no deceleration

No safe word that I was told of



After midnight I'm caught in your grip

Come the morning you give me the slip

Will you love me or will you be cruel

Kiss me or kick like a mule?



It's a win by submission according to plan

Take my advice, son, tap out if you can

Going off half-cocked and all of your big talk

Gets blown when it all hits the fan



After midnight I'm caught in your grip

Come the morning you give me the slip

Will you love me or will you be cruel

Kiss me or kick



One lick of sense in the class of hard knocks

A brief education in love on the rocks

Take me to heaven or take me to school

Cut to the quick

Kiss me or kick like a mule

Kick like a mule
