Black Honey Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
'Cause I, I want honey on my table
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
'Cause I, I want honey on my table
[Pre-Chorus]
But I never get it right
No, I never get it right
[Chorus]
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stinging me
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
And I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
[Verse 2]
I try to stick this pin through a butterfly
'Cause I, I like all the pretty colors
It just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire
To burn with all the others
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I never get it right
No, I never get it right
[Chorus]
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stinging me
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
'Til you do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
[Bridge]
This time, I'll get it right
This time, I'll get it right
It's gonna be this time, I'll get it right
God, let it be this time I get it right
[Alternative Chorus]
So I'm cutting that branch off the cherry tree
Singing, "This will be my victory,"
Then I see them coming after me
And they're following me across the sea
And now they're stinging my friends and my family
And I don't know why this is happening
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
[Outro]
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
'Cause I, I want honey on my table
