Biscuits and Honey

I said hey
Whadaya say
Why don't we ask the milkman if he'd like to play

She said whoa
Whadaya know
So you think this is the way you'd like us to go

I said hi
Care for some pie
Coconut cream fantasies up in the sky

She said why
Don't mind if I do
Is this how they do it how they do it in Kalamazoo

I said wait
Don't slam the gate
I had a glimpse of the future and it can't wait

She said sonny
Don't try and be funny
Come on in to my parlour for biscuits and honey

(Chorus)
Slow as molasses and subtle as sunrise
The universe is waiting to reveal another surprise
Sweet as sugar cane and tart as a codger's tongue
Cries of ecstasy mixed with tears when you've been stung

I said sure
But what is it for
Take all you want but you'll only want more

She said look
You eat what you cook
But stealing recipes don't make you a crook

I said wait
Don't slam the gate
I had a glimpse of the future and it can't wait

She said sonny
Don't try and be funny
Come on in to my parlour for biscuits and honey

The sky you know it ain't falling
But the world ain't gonna come calling
You can hide away in your corner
But you better not miss this warning

You may not have noticed that I am your hostess
The signs that are posted say keep off the grass
Wolves at the door
hounds on my heels
Ride like the wind
keep your foot on the gas

Slow as molasses and subtle as sunrise
The universe is waiting to reveal another surprise
Sweet as sugar cane and tart as a codger's tongue
Cries of ecstasy and tears when you've been stung

I said wait
Don't slam the gate
I had a glimpse of the future and it can't wait

She said sonny
Don't try and be funny
Come on in to my parlour come on in to my parlour for biscuits and honey
