Vestal virginia - ain't got a bad thought in ya - you're a bastard

Mean as a killer - instinct that's within ya - you're a bastard.

Laughs like a drain and it messes up my brain

Cos you know I like the pain of never knowing

Space cow I'll chew the bad blood running through ya

Kiss you as you hit the floor 'cos you don't even know that you're a bastard

There's a crisis in the kitchen

But that don't stop you bitchin' - you're a bastard

You got that yellowjacket touch,

With the stings that hurt so much - you're such a bastard

Flirting in the shadows, aiming all those little arrows,

You're as shallow as the gallows you got me in to. (yeah)

Voodoo dolls gonna line the room, handcuffs glinting in the gloom,

One day you'll find that hidden door, inside everyone screams that you're a bastard.

(you're such a)

You twist me til I'm lame, then you spin the coin again - you're such a bastard

You're so naturally perverse, you ain't even gotta rehearse -you're such a bastard

Fly like a witch, without running in some pitch

Why don't you break the switch that takes me over

My prison is your brain, your prisoner's insane

Forgot all the keys, you can break the chains

But you don't even take the blame you bastard.

(bastard, bastard) I'm enjoying that lately, you know just the beginnings

(bastard)

The agony and the ecstacy meeting at the middle of my mouth

The agony and the ecstacy can't spit it out.

Sometimes on a rainy day I draw you.

Hope for....love.
