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.

Now you complain and say you want the keys

Over my dead body, baby

That's where they'll be

Forget the knots around 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'd burn black for you

And I try 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 lump a violent 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'd burn black for you

No, I won't go down to it

Never, I won't

Never, 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'd burn black for you

And I try just to forget

Never, I won't

Never, I won't

Ever, I won't

Never

Starts out some magic

Some sick religion

That ain't a vulture, that's a fucking pigeon

She's got vultures in her hair

And blood and feathers, they are everywhere

You want retreat

Filthy and deep

A dead moon, a drunken seed

Baby there, there is a room full of death and whores and truth

Now I am waiting in that room

And I am sorry I did that for you

It's all whores

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 night begin

She said "I want it now!"
