Sorry man, sorry, sorry, I've got a bad eye

I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have looked at it

I, I shouldn't have looked at it

Go, go away, go away, on the sugar star

The sugar star and the abortionist and hey,

You want her on the bed

With her legs wide open, her eyes all spread

Sorry man, I've got a gut, slit me

Fucking ran away with my abortionist

My little red-eyed, black demonologist

The knife they used to, to gut my face in

Has been out stabbing baby, baby angels in

Smile, smile

Woah, I'm sorry man, I'm sorry

I shouldn't have looked at it, I

I'm sorry man

You're a night-blooming sickle cell

You're a night-blooming sickle cell

Carry it away, get it away

Look into the bloodroot, you suicide bitch

It takes an hour like you to make me wanna live

Suddenly, I'm sorry man, I'm sorry man, woah

Sister ectoplasma, she's incredulous

Just like a pro, she takes off her dress

And she kicks you down in her snow-white pumps

And just remember, it was me who found the lump

Can I, can I, can I?

"Shit! Shit!"

Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah

"Shit! Shit!"

East is east and west is west

And mine was you and mine was the best

And you are east and west is west

And mine was you and mine was

Mine was whole, Mrs. Jones

Breathe...

"I really, don't ask me again

Don't ever talk to me like that again"
