lyrics

creeps out of the corner,
it goes looking for the door
lets mother take his top off
and he’s begging her for more

peace on earth in quieter houses,
even as they sleep,
bides his time in early morning,
perfect start to make ends meat

and you’d not let me forget, though I try
so pathetic all the time
don’t speak the backwards of my name
to find its meaning still the same

hungry as a wolf in sheep’s clothing,
you close your eyes
tastes of condor cold like ice cream
crashing sine waves in your mind

when all the cables
and the television lights go out
and your halfway through a maddening
let them know what you’re on about

and you’d not let me forget, i tried
so pathetic all the time
don’t speak the backwards of my name
to find its meaning still the same

im so pathetic all the time
and theirs nothing on my mind
for a tragic heart that aches
will take or leave it all the same

aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaooooooo aaaaaaaaa

….

and you’d not let me forget, i tried
so pathetic all the time
don’t speak the backwards of my name
to find its meaning still the same
