lyrics

RATCHET

Ratchet me up
Wind me back down
Pull up the covers
You'll come around
Lght a candle
Let's play the game
Tonight

Open your drawer
Lift up the tin
Take out your day planner
Pencil me in
It's high time
We make the case
For love

We've been tethered
A couple of years
Lets do something
To settle our fears 
Once and for all

Acetylene
Like a burning torch
Won't you make the walk, mama
Across my front porch
Gonna get intense
We'll swing for the fence 
Tonight

CHORUS

Come to my doorway
Throw me a line
Read me a chapter
It'll all be fine
Drop what you’re doing
You've been busy
Working overtime

The shape of your cello, mama
The small of your back
Keep you around
For another heart attack...
Alright!

CHORUS
