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!"
