"Slippery Slope" (presumed title)
By Jude
(transcribed from the 10.02.02 largo performance)

verse one

Lover come and set me free from my restraint
Tear the rags away that bind me
Stare me down, cut me deep into the bone
Give me every tooth and bind me

chorus
You are Madonna
You are Lady Divine
You are part Mother Theresa
And a valentine

Some man's pariah
And a slippery slope
But to me you are the fire
And I fly to my hope

verse two
Mother teaching me now lessons from the past
Faded photo albums lying open on the floor
Heals me with a Nikon camera captured light
With a wink she sets me free forever more

chorus

You are Madonna
You're Lady Divine
You are part Mother Theresa
And a Valentine

Some man's pariah
And a slippery slope
But to me you are the fire
And I fly to my hope

bridge
So consume me now
And burn me to the marrow
Heating it up like you never do
Tear my heart out from my body if you have to
And then swallow me to prove that I am you

chorus
You are Madonna
You're Lady Divine
You are part Mother Theresa
And a Valentine

Some man's pariah
And a slippery slope
But to me you are the fire
And I fly to my....

You are Madonna
You are Lady Divine
You are part Mother Theresa
And a valentine

Some man's pariah
And a slippery slope
But to me you are the fire
And I fly...I fly to my hope

I fly...I fly to my hope

outro

I'll take these wings and fly away
I'll take these wings and fly away
I'll take these wings and fly away
I'll take these wings, yeah
(Repeat)
Away away away ...away (repeat)
Return another day
