LYRICS
Now you complain 
And say you want the keys.
Over my dead body, baby 
That's where they'll be.
Forget the knots 
Around your neck.
You say you remember 
Baby, you forget.

Hey hey 
This much is true,
I never trusted you.
Hey hey 
This much is true,
Baby I'd 
Burn black for you.

And I'm trying 
Just to forget.
Never I won't
Never I won't
Never ever never

Saying things 
That you can't hear.
My doll mouth 
To your deaf ear.
Gushing up 
A violent smear.
My doll mouth 
To your deaf ear.

Hey hey 
This much is true,
I never twisted you.
Hey hey
This much is true,
Baby I'd 
Burn black for you.

No, I won't 
Go down to it
Never I won't
Ever I won't
Never I won't never
Crawl right up the wall
And up the stairs
And down your hall

Now you beg 
And you want me,
Over my dead body baby 
That's where I'll be.
And how you laugh 
At my disease
While sugar runs 
From my arteries.

Hey hey 
This much is true,
I never bothered you.
Hey, hey
This much is true.
Baby I'd 
Burn black for you.

And I'm trying 
Just to forget
Never I won't
Never I won't
Ever I won't never

Starts out like magic, 
Some sick religion.
That ain't no vulture, 
That's a fucking pigeon.

She's got vultures 
In her hair.
Blood and feathers 
They are everywhere.

You wan a treat?
Dig in deep,
Dig in me,
And choke and sleep.

Baby there, 
There is a room,
Full of death 
And whores and truth.

I am waiting 
In that room.
And I am dying 
To get to you.

It's all whores, 
It's all pain.
It's all disease man 
It's all the same.
My little judas
My little twin
Where you start 
That's where I begin.

She said, I
Want it now,
She said, I
Want it now
I Want it NOW
Now Now Now
