Lyrics
Asshole
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.
Your brains went black
When she took back her love
And put it out into the sun.
The birds did fly
When the heavens all went dry
And the cigarettes were smoking by themselves.
She'll do anything
She'll do anything.
She'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole.
Call her name,
She looks the same as you,
With question marks stretched across her skin.
She dangles carrots
And makes you feel embarrassed
To be the fool you know you are.
She'll do anything
She'll do anything.
She'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole.
