Lyrics

Go ahead baby and roll the dice
Place me there on the pass line
Tie me like Isaac and I?ll make nice
Bare my heart for the sacrifice
And maybe you?ll roll a sweet, sweet seven
Spare my life by a voice from heaven
And maybe someday I?ll understand
Just how you could risk us at all

Go ahead baby, maybe you?re right
Chop the past up for firewood
Maybe my feelings are all just lies
Residue from my childhood
And maybe you see what I can?t see
Maybe I need this agony
And maybe someday I?ll understand
Just how you could risk us at all

What pound of my flesh, dear
Shall I carve here at your table
Step back from the edge now
Before you?re no longer able

I swear I didn?t know how blind I was to myself, baby
I?m sorry for the way I raged at you, calling you crazy
I?m here inside the crucible with you

Here we go baby, I know you?re right
All my life I?ve been terrified
Please won?t you stay here and be my wife
See us through to the other side
I?ll never abandon you again
You?ll have lots of room, I won?t pretend
And then our desire will ascend
We?ll love to be lovers and friends
