Lyrics

Turpentine

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.

I once had a dream that you climbed a fence

And you tore out your ligaments right in my presence, oh

And with your bloody arm you attracted flies

With a stinging kind of innocence you only feel in lies, oh yeah

You spun around the spatter as I covered my lips

With a taste of clotting just as you blew me your last kiss

You finished me off with a rag and a cough

As you soaked it in your turpentine and rubbed me down right to the crotch

You continue with words as you shake and lurch

With your lily white fingers that your tears use for a perch

I once had to freeze all the dropped off limbs

Of the cold and spiney liquefied remains of all my closest friends

I knew it was you stealing all you were told

Of course it was rude biting off more then you'll chew

I gathered all their heads and reversed their eyes

So that all they could imagine was their heads engorged with swarming flies

I stripped off all their skin with a close pin on my nose

With a pitchfork I arose and I started to just dig right in
