Honkys Ladder by The Afghan Whigs Lyrics

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 'till 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 and 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 u 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 u 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
Like I could
