going up his leg.
Felt it on his stomach,

"Is this some ghost lady
trying to make my night?"

it's a snake!

Feeling that bad
Okay, so, I should go in with it
and order first.
How am I gonna get in?
Coop, don't be a little bitch.
I'll give it to you after.
Put your hands
All over me
Do everything I'd like
I love this song.
Can we play it?
Lift me up
I'm holding you tight
I'm never gonna change
So just keep that in mind
But I'll tell you so you know
The things you'd never show
Defeat me when
There's nothing to hide
That's it, fellas.
When you say you know me
Then it's not so hard
To show me
Let you take these kisses
Into the light
Put your hands all over me
Do everything I'd like
Lift me up
I'm holding you tight

Local baseball star
Richard Gravel is dead,
following a fatal attack
last night
by what authorities claim
was a lone wolf.
Witnesses described
a large dog fleeing the scene
outside area bar, The Rock,
just after midnight.
The animal was last seen
wandering the woods
on the town's north perimeter,
following the incident.
If you or anyone you know
has seen an animal
that fits this description,
please contact
local law enforcement.
More as the story develops.
MAN: (OVER RADIO) The forecast,
cloudy skies with flurries.
We could expect up to
an inch of snow
and a high of only 31.
Overnight flurries will increase
with total accumulations
of three inches.
With the wind out of the north
at 19 miles per hour,
it's currently 28 degrees.

The moon is high
When you look at me
Like an animal
Now I'm trying to
Get you high,
Yes, I need more
I've come to believe
The sweet relief
Is all we have in this world
So I won't try, won't try,
Won't try anymore
I'm better off inside
Your clothes, inside your home
And it's not safe to
Keep you tame, wicked animal
I need to succumb to
Your thought and your control
So I won't try, won't try,
Won't try anymore
So let you go in all
The ways that I want you to
And we did it right
And we stay right here
So let me go
Split the yolk, oh, wow,
Don't choke, my animal
I take my time,
Go through the window
Into your back door
In all the ways that
I want you to
And it didn't matter when
You say that you want me to
To make me bleed
(DISTORTED MUMBLED SINGING)
Falling down the stairs
And into your hands
Why does the moon come out
Whenever you ask me
To dance?
I'm falling down the stairs
And into your hands
Why does the moon come out
Whenever you ask me
To dance?
So let you go
In all the ways that
I want you to
And we did it right
And we stay right here
I want you to
So let you go in all the ways
That I want you to
And it didn't matter when
You say that you want me to
You're a chain
Around my head
I am twisted in the bed
You're a chain
Around my head
I am twisted in the bed

You can't mess
with animals, man.
