INTERPOL
"Specialist (Black Session)"

You make me lose my buttons, oh yeah, you make me spit
I don't like my clothes anymore
We're spending time and money yeah you're colder than yourself
Now we're moving, now we're taking control

You make me lose my buttons, oh yeah, you make me spit
I don't like my clothes anymore
You take me to New Orleans, yeah you put me to the test
I know what my heart is for

You reach out for a blanket, I say girl you've got something
I love how you wear it
Now we're spending time and money, yeah you're colder than yourself
Now we're moving, now we're taking control

[Chorus:]
Love will get you down!

My love's a laboratory
I set all my pets free
So baby you should sleep with me
I make trips to the bathroom
And my friends don't have true grit
I am speckled like a leopard

[Verse 5]
Put a lid on Shirley Temple
Yeah you make sleek kills
Yeah you travel, you travel
You park me in your Buick
You sing songs into my lips
Well I am speckled like a leopard
Just like a leopard

[Chorus:]
Trust will get you down
I love the way
You put me in the big house
I love the way
You put me in the big house

[Break:]
If I get there early will it be the right time?
Our heaven is just waiting so put your hand into mine
If I get too surly will you take that in stride?
Our boat is just there waiting, so put that little hand in mine

[Bridge:]
And speak when you're spoken of
Catch up on your sleep, girl
When you wear that body glove
You're acting on initiative
And you're spelling out your love
You shouldn't be alone in there
You could be above ground

All I want is to be the very best for you
Oh yeah, all I want is to do the very best by you

Oh there's time
There'll be no life of crime
Don't rain on me tonight

Circle around me now, baby, it'll be ok
'Cause we all go downtown sometimes
Somehow, baby, we'll beat this mess
It's the time, fuck the surface to meet the specialist

[Chorus:]
And time away from me
Will get you down
I love the way you put me in the big house
I love the way you put me in the big house

[Bridge:]
If I get there early, will it be the right time?
Our heaven is just waiting
So put your hand into mine
If I get too surly will you take that in stride?
Our boat is just there waiting
So put your little hand in mine

And speak when you're spoken of
Catch up on your sleep
When you wear that body glove
You're acting on initiative
And you're spelling out your love
You shouldn't be alone in there
You could be above ground

If you're frustrated then go
If you're frustrated then go

[Outro:]
Honey bee, you should be through with this
Your packaged eyes, your vicious lips
You could be young, but you're out of touch
If this love's been done, then what's your rush?

I'm a specialist in hope and I'm registered to vote
Why don't you come into my barrio
We'll see if we can float
I'm a specialist in hope and I'm registered to vote
Why don't you come into my barrio
We'll see if you can float
