Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Get away from me

Get your fingers out of my face

This room's so hot

This room's so hot

I'll break the walls

[Verse 2]

Get away from me

Leave me alone

Oh, like the pig on the stairs

Hanging in a groovy purple shirt

[Bridge 1]

Gasping for air

I'm gasping for air, I'm gasping for love

I'm gasping for air

[Verse 3]

Slit the cats like cheese

Then eat the sweet sticky things

Suck harder, suck harder

Suck your insides, insides out

Blood thick swimming round your feet

As you're choking, choking

Choking on the fleshy words

[Chorus]

Give me it, give me it, give me it, deaden my glassy mind

Give me it, give me it, make me blind

One step back and one step down

And slip the needles in my side

[Bridge 2]

My head is cold, my hands are cold

My heart is cold, my heart is black

And stops every fucking night, every night

I wait until it stops, but it's...

Sing birds, sing birds, sing birds, sing

Get away, get away

Get away, get away

[Outro]

Give me it, give me it

Give me it, give me it

Give me it, give me it, give me it

Give me it, give me it
