Sweet the Sting Live Auditorium Theatre 15/04/05 by Tori Amos Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh baby, is it sweet?
Baby, is it?
Oh baby, is it sweet?

[Verse 1]
With a strut into the room
With his hat cocked sure defiantly
He said "I- I have heard
That you can play the way I like it to be played."
I said, "I can play any way that you want
But first I want, I want to know

[Chorus 1]
Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?
Is it real, this infusion?
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
'Cause I am inching ever closer
To the tip of this scorpion's tail"
[Post-Chorus]
Oh baby, is it sweet?
Oh baby, is it sweet now, boy?

[Verse 2]
He said, "I laid my weapons down
With my pistol fully loaded
A hunted man to my root
Will it end or begin in your cinnabar juice?"

[Chorus 2]
Is it sweet, sweet, sweet, your sting?
Is it real, your infusion?
And can it heal where others before have failed?
If so somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
'Cause I am inching ever closer
To the tip of this scorpion's tail

[Bridge]
Love let me breathe, breathe you in
Melt the confusion until there is
There is you, union

[Chorus 2]
Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet, your sting?
Is it real, yes, your infusion?
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
'Cause I am inching ever closer
To the tip of this scorpion's tail
[Outro]
Oh, baby, is it sweet, boy?
Baby, is it sweet now?
Baby, is it sweet?
Oh baby, is it sweet?
