Lyrics
The Butcher
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.
Beauty will destroy your mind
Spare the gory details
Give them gift wrapped for the man with everything
Though I lived a lonely life
I was confused
Now butcher
Feel nothing
As it courses up my arms in position of the worms
Up, up through my heart and to my brain
Arm a bit slack,a basic combination
Cut out chopped liver on the block
My heart's still pumping
My heart's still pumping
He's a worrier, a worrier
Here's a little bitch, come and honour him
He's a worrier, a worrier
Here's a little bitch, come and honour him
Come and honour him
