lyrics

it's the way that your kiss condemns me
it makes me feel like I'm in guantanamo
iodine where your fingertips tore me
you treated me like a feral animal
poor percy rotting in the amazon
a doomed man lost in limbo
has a better chance in hell than i do
of keeping cool
too uncouth for you
from the udder to the mouth
we're all bidding our time
from the uterus to the ground
& our hearts are cunning
like a lizard in the sun
when they want something
like poison pink wonton
throw you under a bus
grind your teeth to dust
you hide in the dark
& you suck your thumb
i shave my head
as you bury all your baggage
in the bed of another dumb cock-smith
i don't sleep just to dull my memories
of how you love like an overseer's horsewhip
waterboard me with call me maybe
looping on an endless repeat
ain't got nothing on the kiss you gave me
so cruel so sweet
too uncouth for you
from the udder to the mouth
we're all bidding our time
from the uterus to the ground
& our hearts are cunning
like a lizard in the sun
when they want something
like poison pink wonton
throw you under a bus
grind your teeth to dust
you hide in the dark
& you suck your
bang bang pow
bang bang pow
bang bang pow
bang bang grrr
bang bang pow
bang bang pow
bang bang pow
bang
you're dead
ooh what's you're popo making
ooh what's you're popo making
ooh what's you're popo making
ooh what's you're popo making
ooh what's you're popo making
ooh what's you're popo making
pink wonton
ooh what's you're popo making
ooh what's you're popo making
ooh what's you're popo making
& our hearts are cunning
like a lizard in the sun
when they want something
like poison pink wonton
& our hearts are cunning
like a lizard in the sun
throw you under a bus
grind your teeth to dust
you hide in the dark
& you suck your thumb
