Wasp nest women are irresistable, they're all honey and needles (broken bottles, live wires). This is a song about the last moments of luring and the first moment of giving in, and it's done in such a raw and refined way that listeners can see that humming throat themselves.

Holy crap. That's exactly right.

I used your interpretation on FB to post a link to a wasp nest video, because it's so damn right (and good). :)

I concur. No matter whether it's a man or a woman, this is about those we want to have, might have for some time, but who are, as you said, all honey and needles.
