lyrics

Compassionately bitter when she touch me
Overzealous with the underhand
C-C-Cosmic as a nebula bleeding from her head wound
I'm a psychonautic trainwreck with a list of demands
Stop praying to Dionysus
I got a temple for the Mother Divine
Dogmatic as a zealot in her politics who preaches that she's peaceful
But some people should die
Oh, you've gone meandering in strange woods
Leave no itty bitty bread crumbs behind
You made a pistol from your halo but it's too rusty to shine (how divine)
So I pack a rampage on a postulated canvas
Forked tongue in fellatio
Oh the drugs are getting harder and the kids still need a father
Well I told her I'd be honored and away we go

All this residue has left me cold and temperamental
But if I were you, I'd love myself just a little
Don't tell me what to do

Tsunami mami got a gait like a tidal wave
How doth that hurricane blow?
F-F-F-F-Fifty plus nice kids living in an ice rim
Nothing more to see or to show down below
Punk hippie with a seam to split
High country carousel with lavish designs
Traumatic as a sadist in your family room that makes your mama breakfast then she kiss him goodbye
Oh, you got me tangled up inside you
Lord I just want to play outside
This garden turned into a graveyard
All the flowers inside have died
Rack 'em average with a rapid rate of damage
Cross-eyed when she goes to mass
Oh, the kids are getting bigger yet the mama need her cigarettes and all the little potions that she puts in her glass

Yes, I know I'm gorgeous
I just love myself to death
That's because I'm poisonous
Dig that pink banana split
Open up a soda pop on top of it-- apocalypse
Get up off that crystal meth
Manifest your life to something rad and madly positive
Nonetheless suffer this woeful metamorphosis

All this residue has left me cold and temperamental
But if I were you I'd love myself just a little
Don't tell me what to do

Let's pretend and start anew
Blessings from the Absolute on me & you
All we are is residue vexed & mentally abused
We're bad news
Kiss me and I'll follow you into a noose that's built for two: me & you
Oh we're both so destitute of all the love we could produce
We're bad news

Practically imperfect
God without the churches
All gone
Feeling amputated but it's situational

There's a part of me that withers constantly
It makes it odd to be alive
There's a part of that withers constantly
But I'm so thankful we're alive

All this residue has left me cold and temperamental
But if I were you I'd love myself just a little
I'll tell you what to do

I just love myself to death 'cause I'm poisonous

Queen Dementia got a heart like a hammer
Babe, don't let it nail you down
You're better than that
Queen Dementia got a heart like a hammer
Babe, don't let it nail you down
You're worth more than that
Queen Dementia got a heart like a hammer
Babe, don't let it nail you down
You're stronger than that
Queen Dementia got a heart like a hammer
Babe, don't let it nail you down
You're bigger than that
