lyrics
She’s show me the shindig He’s show me the blood
She thinks I’m autistic
You’re not hurt enough
And it’s a modern marvel Come on! Come one! Come all! Tragic and carnal
Come eat your heart out
See her fake fresh lip lift
His bionic arm
Science tricks can’t fix this And here comes the harm And here come the hammer Don’t run! Don’t cry! Don’t lie! There goes the glamour
Get a pen and stammer
There’s where it starts
There’s where it wounds
You throw words like darts
Chase us like kids ‘round the room Aim low
Nice throw
Money, looks, calls and hearths
We owe, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe Habits, hates, hopes and hearts
We know, we know, we know, we know
Here’s where it stops
Here’s where we go
Our hearts are clocks
Tick, tock, talk, ta ta, explode You stay
We go
We owe interest, we owe skin
Owe existence and clean dishes
We owe children and mowed lawns
We owe and we are overdrawn
Collect the debt with threats, then press Yourself into our hearts and heads
Now I’m too scared to break my hands But that’s where they hid their habits And they put poison in my mouth
I tried but I can’t spit it out
Their hope, their hate, my heart, my head Thank god a bomb is in my chest
She thinks I’m autistic
You’re not hurt enough
And it’s a modern marvel Come on! Come one! Come all! Tragic and carnal
Come eat your heart out
See her fake fresh lip lift
His bionic arm
Science tricks can’t fix this And here comes the harm And here come the hammer Don’t run! Don’t cry! Don’t lie! There goes the glamour
Get a pen and stammer
There’s where it starts
There’s where it wounds
You throw words like darts
Chase us like kids ‘round the room Aim low
Nice throw
Money, looks, calls and hearths
We owe, we owe, we owe, we owe, we owe Habits, hates, hopes and hearts
We know, we know, we know, we know
Here’s where it stops
Here’s where we go
Our hearts are clocks
Tick, tock, talk, ta ta, explode You stay
We go
We owe interest, we owe skin
Owe existence and clean dishes
We owe children and mowed lawns
We owe and we are overdrawn
Collect the debt with threats, then press Yourself into our hearts and heads
Now I’m too scared to break my hands But that’s where they hid their habits And they put poison in my mouth
I tried but I can’t spit it out
Their hope, their hate, my heart, my head Thank god a bomb is in my chest
