Salt The Wound
I'm swimming in a sea
Of orange juice and barracudas
Salt the wound with lemon lime
The tequilas doing fine
To drown the rats out of my head
The snakes writhing in my bed
Listen to what the philosopher said
Were better off deadly serious
Considering the imperious
Methods of torture implied
By this mundane diatribe
Shaking fists at an ambivalent sky
Take a bath in broken glass
Brush your teeth with bleach
I'd be remiss to miss that kiss
Light another cigarette
Under a neon sunset
The futures gone to hell
But you're doing pretty well I bet
Stage a coup on the life you thought you knew
Don't misconstrue
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
I'm tired and sick and unimpressed
I've made a mole hill of this mess
Gas and matches are a solution
But I digress
I like the way that you undress
A peculiar state of grace
That's been lacking in this place
Of solemn worship crack the whip
Smack your lips and bite the neck
If your upset maybe the problems
Not with the world but with you
And yours just slamming doors
And burning bridges my mind itches
Twitches as I'm getting bored with
The insane old same old arguments
Light another cigarette
Under a neon sunset
The futures gone to hell
But you're doing pretty well I bet
Stage a coup on the life you thought you knew
Don't misconstrue
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
White dress
Blue trim
Gold ring
Leather straps
And hand cuffs
Shift your hips
To the other leg
I like the way it moves honey
Light another cigarette
Under a neon sunset
The futures gone to hell
But you're doing pretty well I bet
Stage a coup on the life you thought you knew
Don't misconstrue
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
Of orange juice and barracudas
Salt the wound with lemon lime
The tequilas doing fine
To drown the rats out of my head
The snakes writhing in my bed
Listen to what the philosopher said
Were better off deadly serious
Considering the imperious
Methods of torture implied
By this mundane diatribe
Shaking fists at an ambivalent sky
Take a bath in broken glass
Brush your teeth with bleach
I'd be remiss to miss that kiss
Light another cigarette
Under a neon sunset
The futures gone to hell
But you're doing pretty well I bet
Stage a coup on the life you thought you knew
Don't misconstrue
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
I'm tired and sick and unimpressed
I've made a mole hill of this mess
Gas and matches are a solution
But I digress
I like the way that you undress
A peculiar state of grace
That's been lacking in this place

These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you

Stage a coup on the life you thought you knew
Don't misconstrue
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
These words were not meant for you
