Cripple Punk by Elsa Kennedy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve been licking my wounds
I’ve been bathing in bleach
Now I’m scrubbing my skin
But I can’t seem to get clean
[Verse 2]
'Cause my body is a gutter
For my daydreams suicide
Where prayers turn to junkies
And wishes pray to die
[Verse 3]
And in my crippled cage
I rage, I moan, and I whine
'Cause I have cats and dogs
That claw and paw at my insides
[Chorus]
I’m a sick woman with a dream
Sucking on the teat of that vow
They said if I gave my everything
It’d come back to me
[Post-Chorus]
But now it’s curdled and sour, yes it is
Now it’s curdled and sour
[Verse 4]
Try to tell you a joke
It gets stuck in my throat
And suddenly I’m wheezing
Ahh, Funny Man, Fate Man- I see you
You really like to snip at my strings
Cut me opеn when you get into a bad mood
But keep me hoping that somеday I’ll be free
[Verse 5]
Never, never, never, never
Will you just let me be
And so I writhe and cry and weep
[Verse 6]
Coz my body is a gutter
For my daydreams suicide
And maybe, maybe mine
[Verse 7]
And in my crippled corset
My wounds come back again
Coz I have cats and dogs
That claw and paw at my skin
[Chorus]
I’m a sick woman with a dream
Sucking on the teat of that vow
They said if I gave my everything
It’d come back to me, but it’s sour
[Chorus]
I’m a sick woman with a dream
Sucking on the teat of that vow
They said if I gave my everything
It’d come back to me
[Post-Chorus]
But now it’s curdled and sour, yes it is
Now it’s curdled and sour, mmm
Now it’s curdled and sour, now
It’s curdled and sour
[Verse 8]
I’ve been licking my wounds
I’ve been bathing in bleach
Now I’m scrubbing my skin
But I can’t seem to get clean
I’ve been licking my wounds
I’ve been bathing in bleach
Now I’m scrubbing my skin
But I can’t seem to get clean
[Verse 2]
'Cause my body is a gutter
For my daydreams suicide
Where prayers turn to junkies
And wishes pray to die
[Verse 3]
And in my crippled cage
I rage, I moan, and I whine
'Cause I have cats and dogs
That claw and paw at my insides
[Chorus]
I’m a sick woman with a dream
Sucking on the teat of that vow
They said if I gave my everything
It’d come back to me
[Post-Chorus]
But now it’s curdled and sour, yes it is
Now it’s curdled and sour
[Verse 4]
Try to tell you a joke
It gets stuck in my throat
And suddenly I’m wheezing
Ahh, Funny Man, Fate Man- I see you
You really like to snip at my strings
Cut me opеn when you get into a bad mood
But keep me hoping that somеday I’ll be free
[Verse 5]
Never, never, never, never
Will you just let me be
And so I writhe and cry and weep
[Verse 6]
Coz my body is a gutter

[Verse 7]
And in my crippled corset
My wounds come back again
Coz I have cats and dogs
That claw and paw at my skin
[Chorus]
I’m a sick woman with a dream
Sucking on the teat of that vow
They said if I gave my everything
It’d come back to me, but it’s sour
[Chorus]
I’m a sick woman with a dream
Sucking on the teat of that vow
They said if I gave my everything
It’d come back to me
[Post-Chorus]
But now it’s curdled and sour, yes it is
Now it’s curdled and sour, mmm
Now it’s curdled and sour, now
It’s curdled and sour
[Verse 8]
I’ve been licking my wounds
I’ve been bathing in bleach
Now I’m scrubbing my skin
But I can’t seem to get clean
