Recorded for 1993’s Pull, it was completely rewritten and turned into “In My Veins”. One of the most sexual songs in the band’s discography, it counters the usual submissive front applied in some of the band’s other “sexier”, “hot under the collar” work.
Please pray for rain
Cause i’m bleeding fire
Turn the white driven snow into blood red desire
I ain’t into fantasy
True love accompany
In your hour of need
Oh, let’s be (unintelligible)
Screaming for salvation
Yeah
I’m climbing the walls from your sweet intoxication
Too weak, can’t resist
The venom of the snake you kissed
In your hour of need
Psychedelic love obsessed
What you give is what you get
In your hour of need
I step inside your dream
Surrender to me
In your hour of need
I can give you everything
Whoa yеah
Midnight burns and we become onе, yeah
Breaking the silence with your switchblade tongue (Oh)
I know you like it dirty
Slam until you bleed
Oh
Hurt me magic animal
Let me hear you scream
Too weak, can’t resist
The venom of the snake you kissed
In your hour of need
Psychedelic love obsessed
What you give is what you get
In your hour of need
I step inside your dream
Surrender to me
In your hour of need
I can give you everything
Whoa baby hearing you scream
It’s killing me
Surrender to me
In your hour of need
I can give you everything
(Surrender to me)
Too weak, can’t resist
The venom of the snake you kissed
In your hour of need
Raw emotion in the flesh
Psychedelic love obsessed
What you give is what you get
In your hour of need
I step inside your dream
Surrender to me
In your hour of need
I can give you everything
In your hour of need
Whoa baby hearing you scream
It’s killing me
Surrender to me
Whoa yeah
