Closet Cutter is the sixth track on Electro De Perfecto (2011) and the ninth track on Acousto De Perfecto (2012.)

Stuck my fingers down my throat to start my day
Start my day, what a way to start my day
A runny yolk down a window pane
Starts my day, let's get started
Don't blame your parents
Blame the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
We will rebuild again, we will rebuild again
In the face of my own destruction
Stuck my fingers down my throat to start my day
Start my day, what a way to start my day
A running joke that got away
Starts my day, let's get started
Don't blame Kim Fowley
Blame Mr. Crowley and the REO
We will rebuild again, we will rebuild again
In the face of my own destruction
I love you all
Take her on a trip, on a bungee jump
Find the fleshy switch, givе her what she wants
Tell her she's a dish, take her out to dinner
Candy apple fish, don't be a quitter
Put her in a house, shut up the shutters
Sing into her mouth, feed her bread and butter
Hit the motherlode with a box cutter
Slip into her moat, don't be quitter
Stuck my fingers down my throat to start my day
What a way to start my day
I know exactly what to do with X-Acto blades
Let's get started
Don't blame your parents
Blame the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
We will rebuild again, we will rebuild again
Take her on a trip, on a bungee jump
Find the fleshy switch, give her what she wants
Tell her she's a dish, take her out to dinner
Candy apple fish, don't be a quitter
Put her in a house, shut up the shutters
Sing into her mouth, feed her bread and butter
Hit the motherlode with a box cutter
Slip into her moat, don't be quitter
