Lyrics The Handsome Family

The Handsome Family

Darling, My Darling

Darling, my darling

Look at my waving antennae

My barbed jaw and hard red pinchers

The stripes running down my spine

Darling, my darling, watch me fly up in spirals

Admire the horns 'neath my eyes

The fan of my beautiful wings

I'll give you everything

Darling, my darling, I bow my leg like a cello

I perch on branches and bellow

While dreaming only of thee

I'll give you everything

Darling, my darling

Down in the dew-dropped rushes

I beat my head in the darkness

And build a fortress of tunnels

Darling, my darling, your snapping fangs don't scare

I'll leap on your spine and love you

'Til you gnaw me down to my wings

I'll give you everything, I'll give you everything

Oh my darling

Oh my darling
