Turpentine

It'll come down and look you in the eye
The way you're gonna go with no place to die
My water breaks like turpentine
I sit pretty like a sacrifice
You getta watch, you getta watch
Now you getta watch me die
Bless my body and bless my soul (there's my body, and there's my soul)
Rip it in turpentine
See you standing
Whatever for?
Oh, standing like an old whore
Who really knows where the ruby rides
I see all the sick reflections in your ruby eyes
And I know all you devils by your Christian names
And I know all you bitches by your Christian names
I getta watch, I getta watch
Now I getta watch you die
Bless my body and bless my soul (there's my body, and there's my soul)
Rip it in turpentine
Backwards belly, a cuterim
Put your head up over your leg
Count backwards from infinity
And say "oh, oh whoa" Eat the rose and the dirt it grows in
Hey, I don't even know what hole that's supposed to go in
Now you're mad and you're snubbing me
Stinks of metal in the junky tree
You getta watch, you getta watch
Now you getta watch me die
Bless my body, bless my sore
Rip it in turpentine
Backwards belly, a cuterim
Put your leg up over your head
I better walk you to your suicide
'Cos you fear maybe hold down suicide
I cease to exist on your Christmas list
I cease to exist in your disease
I lie right down baby give it to me
I lie right down
Nowhere walking backwards goes...

Phonebill Song

She's a bimbo playing on the damn phone

I could really fuck you up, yeah
Cause I'm a demon buttercup, heh heh
You have to spit to see the shine
I see the carcass in your eyes
Before I go to sleep
Get it away from me
See the demon whore house eyes
Well, everything you look at dies
Gonna run the phonebill up
'Cos I'm a loser, buttercup
Before I fall asleep
Baby, I don't owe you
I could really suck you in
And you'd never see the light again
Gotta run the phonebill up
'Cos I'm a loser, buttercup
Before I just want more
Baby I just get bored

Retard Girl

makes us sick
Lets all poke her with a stick
Well she walks funny
Kind of like a pig
Gotta hate that retard girl
See the retard girl walking in her school
In the same dress from fourth grade
See the retard girl cross-eyed in the schoolyard
Looking for the friend she made

Retard girl
Retard girl
Retard girl
She don't forget a face
Now shines the moon among the lesser fires
She's sucking a dick out in the yard
Well she walks funny
Kind of like a pig
God I hate that retard girl
Hear the retard girl do one for me
She don't think like the others do
See the retard girl squirming in the mud
Throw her in the trash can, see what she does

Retard girl
Retard girl
Retard girl
She don't forget a face

I ask her mother, "Why'd you implode?"
Well her head's so big it just might explode
And she walks funny
Kind of like a pig
God I hate that retard girl
Hit her

See the retard girl staring at the sun
What does she see
See the retard girl stare at everyone
I hope she doesn't see me

Retard girl
The retard girl
The retard girl
She don't forget a face
Retard girl
The retard girl
The retard girl
Don't throw her away

Burn Black

Now you complain you say you want the keys
Over my dead body baby that's where they'll be
Forgive me now, I'll just slit your neck
You say you remember baby you forget

Hey, hey, this much is true
I never trusted you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Now I burn black for you

And I'm trying just to forget

Never, I won't
Never, I won't
Never, ever, never

Saying things that you can't hear
My doll mouth to your deaf ear
Gushing up a viole(n)t smear
My doll mouth to your deaf ear
Hey, hey, this much is true
I never twisted you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Baby I burn black for you

No, I won't go down to it

Never, I won't
Ever, I won't
Never, I won't, never

Crawl right up the wall
And up the stairs
And down your hall

Now you beg and you want me
Over my dead body baby that's where I'll be
And you laugh at my disease
While sugar runs from my arteries

Hey, hey, this much is true
I never bothered you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Baby I burn black for you

And I'm trying just to forget

Never, I won't
Never, I won't
Ever, I won't, never

Starts out like magic, some sick religion
That ain't no vulture, that's a fucking pigeon
She's got vultures in her hair
And blood and feathers they are everywhere
You want retreat
They'll be deep
Dig mine they choke and seep
Baby there, there is a room
Full of death and whores and truth
I am waiting in that room
I am dying in that room (and I am sorry, I never knew)
It's all hoarse, it's all pain
It's all disease, man it's all the same
My little judas
My little twin
Where you start that's where I begin

"I want it now" she said
"I want it now" she said...

Twenty Years In The Dakota

She spent twenty years in the Dakota
Every single day it was black in the Dakota
Riot grrrls think you can stop me
And you're forever in her debt
Well I know you haven't sent me
And you haven't sent her yet

She spent twenty years like a virus
They want to burn the witch who's inside us
Well you, you don't fuck with her fabulous four
Or you spend the rest of your life
Picking things up off the floor

She's still alive but I am sure
That all the stars belong to her
On California king-sized beds
She's wrapped in rags inside my head
This is the story, this is the story of someone's wife
Big black pools of her whole life
(I don't remember, I forget)

Oh, baby dry your dirty eyes
My water breaks like turpentine
The pee girl burns to be a bride
Your ever lovely suicide
Are they coming for me
Are they coming soon?

Hey Jude, hey Jude
Are they coming for me
Judy, Judy
Are they coming soon?
(I don't remember, I forget)
The pee girl burns to be a bride
Your ever lovely suicide
I don't remember, I forget

Miss World

I am the one you want, I lie and lie and lie
No matter where you go, I try and try and try
I am the girl you know I lie and lie and lie
I am the girl you know, just lies and lies and lies

I'm Miss World
Somebody kill me
Kill me pills
No one cares, my friend

I'm Miss World
Watch me break and watch me burn
No one can hear me, my friends

Kill girls watch
I eat ether
Suck me under
Maybe forever

I am the girl you know I lie and lie and lie
No matter where you go I try and try and try
No one can hear me, cries and cries and cries
I am the girl you know I lie and lie and lie

Old Age

And I will away
Your highness I'm so high I cannot walk
And I will away
You cripple, you take away my time, my peace, my empathy
No babies sleep on atrophy
Your unborn love and fetal dress
Hard bitter candy leg-less caress

What was she for Halloween
The ugliest girl you've ever seen
Someday she will die alone
What was she for Valentine's
An old forgotten concubine
Someday she will die for no one

She seems to me to know
All that glitters gone sour
All that lies in her place
Jesus saves

Old age
Old age
Old age
Old age

It's okay to kill your idols
Just pretend you have no rivals
We all know that she's friendless
Spits at mirrors, it's not an issue
Just remove the hateful tissue
We all know her age is endless

She seems to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in her place
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age
Old age

And then she begs you she says, "pretty please"
I'll make her pure again, I'll make her clean

No one knows she's Hestor Prynne
Someone please tell Anne Boleyn
Chokers are back in again
Someday she won't have to fake it
Living, well, itself seems sacred
Someday she will just refuse

She seems to me to know
All that glitters is sour
All that lies in her place
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age
Old age

(Rest in peace and) I'm sorry
(Me in pieces) so sorry
(Rest in peace and) I'm sorry
(Me in pieces) so sorry

Softer, Softest

I tell you everything
I hope that you won't tell on me
I'd give you anything
Just give it back to me

The pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me melt
Your milk is so sour
And I can only cower
I can only cower
And I can only cower
You have all the power

I've got a blister from
Touchin' everything I see
The abyss opens up
It steals everything from me

The pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me melt
Your milk is so sick
Your milk has a dick
Your milk has a dick
Your milk has a dick
Your milk has a dick

Burn the witch, the bitch is dead
Burn the witch, just bring me back her head

Pee girl gets the belt
Your milk makes me melt
Your milk is so mean
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cream

He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)

He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me but it didn't hurt me
He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I had been with someone new
And when I told him I had been untrue

He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me and I knew he loved me
'Cos if he didn't care for me
I could have never made him mad
And he hit me and I was glad

Baby won't you stay
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me and I knew I loved him

'Cos when he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is
He hit me and he made me his
Baby won't you stay

Staring right back at me
And it's strange

One look over my shoulder

Some little old man looking over his shoulder
Staring right back at me
And it's strange
It's strange
It's strange
It's strange
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch

Asking For It

Everytime that I sell myself to you
I feel a little bit cheaper than I need to
I will tear the petals off of you
Rose-red, I will make you tell the truth

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
Yes she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

Everytime that I stare into the sun
Angel dust and my dress just comes undone
Everytime that I stare into the sun
Be a model or just look like one
Wild Eye Rot Gut Do Me In
Do you think you can make me do it again?

Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
Yes she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?

If you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
Fuck you
Was she asking for it?
Was she asking nice?
Yes she was asking for it
Did she ask you twice?
I don't care anymore
If you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
If you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
If you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
If you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
If you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
If you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me, I swear that I will die for you

Live, live, live, live, live
There's no room enough for you
I don't care about what you do
Yeah you walk in the room
Yeah I'm being crushed
You know your reason for living
I still haven't guessed
