[Verse 1]
I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket, I was grey, damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
Like I think I'm at the racing, like the night before
[Verse 2]
I remember one girl standing, one was sitting on the ground
One was holding me up, the other pulling me down
And I couldn't decide which one was real because there wasn't a sound
Like I was pregnant again
[Verse 1]
I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket, I was grey, damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
Like I think I'm at the racing, like the night before
[Chorus 1]
"Don't move, don't smile, don't blink, don't even breathe," she said
"Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head"
So I was sucking, I was sucking like a fat lady would
But I couldn't hold it down another second
[Chorus 2]
"Don't twitch, don't shout, don't think, don't even breathe," she said
"Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head"
So I was sweating, I was sweating like a fat lady would
And I woke up with a man inside my mouth
[Coda]
This won't hurt at all
