lyrics

First thing when I blasted out of the womb

I cut a chord and screamed, I still remember my dreams

Floating endlessly, cooking in a cauldron in the belly of the first beast

I saw, dance floors; filled with witches so I started flicking matches at them

First thing when I blasted out of the womb

I saw tasteless sights, you wouldn’t taste my eyes

You push me out of everywhere I’ve been

You make me wait, to find there’s nothing leading

From crotch to grave, but drinks and incidents.

My head is constantly over my heels, so when you ask me if I’m falling my response is simply “always”

So you bet your hair

And I’ll bet my teeth

Jammed into a circle that starts again, and keeps spinning

[Pushing one and one together, to make one

This’ll hurt you more than it hurts me]

Drawing confessions, when I’m dancing this beautiful dance, with a chainsaw

So just keep your mind peeled and start spilling

First thing when I blasted out of the womb

I was led astray, a steel handed stingray – in the finest clothes

Stealing little children that were tempted out of windows

I saw, chainsaws; in this beautiful dance where your confession was drawn

First thing when I blasted out of the womb

I saw tasteless sights, you wouldn’t taste my eyes

So you bet your eyes

And I’ll bet my skin

Jammed into a circle that starts again, and keeps spinning

[Pushing one and one together, to make one

This’ll hurt you more than it hurts me]

So I hit the ground running, since I’m out of your water and into the air

I’ve got a thirst to know, is a Martini ever really dry?

I’ve got a thirst to know

You’ll be the first to know

If my glass is ever empty

If I crawl back in then I’ll never know
