The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm at the door at a quarter to four
Poppers popping baby might take some more
I'm fucking loose, you're gorgeous, I don't care
Come closer, baby, slap me like that snare
Moon Shaped Pool plays in the velvet cell
Green neon sign reading Welcome to Hell
Leather slings fall like oxygen masks
We're going down, fuck my life in half
School of magic, with brooms and wands
Pairs of people tugging like hungry dogs
For bone, baby, in the house of slithering
Floor full of happy wizards scissoring
I don't subscribe to your cultural norms
My church's doctrine has lost it's charm
Rise above the gloom of the jungle floor
Hit me like that snare, more, more, more
I don't subscribe to your cultural norms
My church's doctrine has lost it's charm
Family matters, I couldn't agree more
This is my family f*sting me on the floor
Regret my safe word, one to ten in Japanese
At the party, carpet burning my knees
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
(Ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyu, jyuu)
Ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyu, jyuu
Ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyu, jyuu
We are dangerous teenagers
We are dangerous teenagers
Fuck you, I'll do what I want to do
Fuck you, I'll do what I want to do
Fuck you, I'll do what I want to do
Fuck you, I'll do what I want to do
