You can't dig what you don't understand, boy Sometimes it's the only way Well, the misery's so fucking exciting Well, the fashion of it's all the fucking rage These are hammers on strings making notes, babe With blood and the frog in my throat These are the binders covered in bad poetry Not knowing what it's really about Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where Did you get that stupid shit-eating grin that you wear? And what, or who got you through the door? You're a piece of meat on the killing floor These are closed and velvet ropes And a curtain, sipping Cokes To be certain, it's so slow That it's hurting, don't you know These are closed and velvet ropes And a curtain, sipping Cokes To be certain, it's so slow That it's hurting, don't you know These are closed and velvet ropes And a curtain, sipping Cokes To be certain, it's so slow That it's hurting, don't you know These are closed and velvet ropes And a curtain, sipping Cokes To be certain, it's so slow That it's hurting, don't you know Take your chances in the killing fields With all the snakes and dogs And dance 'till you bleed and bone touches steel And all your hope is gone So take your chances in the killing fields With all the snakes and dogs And dance 'till you bleed and bone touches steel And all your hope is gone And all your hope is gone
