LYRICS:
Place your feet upon the table
Peerless, venerated. Kink your neck back
I wound myself in Novocain
Hand me the Scotty, daisy train
I’m a whore, psychonaut, verbal anarchist
Somebody stop me
Cry and snort, I grab the basin
Sweat drips from my pores
Goddamn I love this pain
Back and forth you know it!
Down the pecking order I crawl
It gets me off (quivering, pulsating)
Back and forth you know it!
Down the pecking order I crawl
It gets me off (with my hands around your neck)
Motherfucker!
Once again, once again, once again
(once again, once again, once again)
The pain sets in; I’m not feeling alive
Put your faith in me I’ll be wasting your time
The pain sets in and I’m not feeling alive,
I wonder if I’ll reside in your state of mind
(The pain sets in and now I know I’m not feeling alive)
You know you shouldn’t, I’ll do it anyway
You know you want it, I do it anyway
Rally round, repetition
Ill-behaved, regurgitation
Cyborg, ya keep it human
Bedrock, lubrication
Nicotine, the mechanism
Holy Grail, pucker up
Suffocation, thigh pressure
Painful, reverberation
