Turpentine by This Way to the Egress Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I once had a dream that you climbed a fence
And you tore out your ligaments right in my presence, oh
And with your bloody arm you attracted flies
With a stinging kind of innocence you only feel in lies, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
You spun around the spatter as I covered my lips
With a taste of clotting just as you blew me your last kiss!
You finished me off with a rag and a cough
As you soaked it in your turpentine and rubbed me down right to the crotch
[Verse 3]
You continue with the words as you shake and lurch
With your lily white fingers that your tears use for a perch
I once had to freeze all the droppеd-off limbs
Of the cold and spiny liquefied rеmains of all my closest friends!
[Chorus]
I knew it was you
Stealing all you were told
Of course it was rude
To bite off more than you'll chew
1, 2, 3, 4!
[Post-Chorus]
I gathered all their heads and reversed their eyes
So that all they could imagine was their heads engorged with swarming flies!
I stripped off all their skin with a clothespin on my nose
With a pitchfork I arose and I started to just dig right in!
I once had a dream that you climbed a fence
And you tore out your ligaments right in my presence, oh
And with your bloody arm you attracted flies
With a stinging kind of innocence you only feel in lies, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
You spun around the spatter as I covered my lips
With a taste of clotting just as you blew me your last kiss!
You finished me off with a rag and a cough
As you soaked it in your turpentine and rubbed me down right to the crotch
[Verse 3]
You continue with the words as you shake and lurch
With your lily white fingers that your tears use for a perch
I once had to freeze all the droppеd-off limbs
Of the cold and spiny liquefied rеmains of all my closest friends!
[Chorus]
I knew it was you
Stealing all you were told
Of course it was rude
To bite off more than you'll chew
1, 2, 3, 4!
[Post-Chorus]
I gathered all their heads and reversed their eyes
So that all they could imagine was their heads engorged with swarming flies!
I stripped off all their skin with a clothespin on my nose
With a pitchfork I arose and I started to just dig right in!
