?? wash and wait
A human sanitation aid
And I will starve to death
Until you feed me
With your tenderness
Greet me with your
Slimy hands
You beckon me with open arms
You offer salvation
And I salivate
But it's too late
And you're a dollar short
And that's too bad
Cause what you got
I wish I had
I seek to ??
But you get mad
Chorus: My final words
Have fallen upon deaf ears
My last few words
Have fallen upon deaf ears
repeat chorus twice
(Another Version)
-----------------------------
This to wash away
Give us our protection day
And I will starve to death
Before you see me
With your tenderness
Greet me
With your slimy kiss
Beckon me with open arms
Your salvation
And I salivate
But it's too late
I gotta show (?)
but that's too bad
'Cuz what you got
I wish I had
You seem to know that you been bad (?)
My father was ???
My nasty words ???
