Honky's Ladder - The Afghan Whigs

Got you where I want you motherfucker

I got five up on your dime

And if you wanna peep on something

Peep what I got stuck between your eyes

And since I don’t believe a word you say

Save it for another, baby brother

Swallow time to pay

Up on the ladder they sing

How high?

Does a brother have to climb

To touch the light

But wait 'til I get done with you

If you tell me

«Don't get mixed up with the Devil»

That’s exactly what I’m gonna do

Caught you while you waited

For your boy to come and fix you up again

Come a little closer, baby

I only wanna try to be your friend

Since I ain’t got nothing left to lose

Got you where I want you, motherfucker

Don’t you try to move

Up on the ladder they sing

How high?

Does a brother have to climb

To touch the light

Won’t you take me up there with you?

You said you would

No one ever could shake

That ladder, baby like I could

So I wait

And I wait

And I wait

And I wait

Up on the ladder they sing

How high?

Does a brother have to climb

To touch the light

Won’t you take me up there with you?

You said you would

No one ever could shake

That ladder, baby like I could

Like I could, like I could
