The Toadies - Possum Kingdom
How they were able to take a story so dark and evil and make such an awesomely catchy rock song out of it amazes me. Definitely one of the ultimate 90’s tracks though.
Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side…
By my side…
I’m not gonna lie
I’ll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I’ll show you my dark secret
I’m not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah
Don’t be afraid
I didn’t mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
I can promise you
You’ll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin
Forever…
Forever…
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you want to be
My angel?
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you want to be
My angel?
Give it up to me!
Give it up to me!
Do you want to be?!
My angel?!
So help me!
Be my angel…
Be my angel…
Do you want to die…
Do you want to die…
Do you want to die…
Do you want to die…
Do you want to die?!
Do you want to die?!
Do you want to die?!
Do you want to die?!
Well I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus…
Jesus…
Jesus…
