[Verse 1]
Get away from me
Get your fingers out of my face
This room's so hot
This room's so hot
I'll break the walls
[Verse 2]
Get away from me
Leave me alone
Oh, like the pig on the stairs
Hanging in a groovy purple shirt
[Bridge 1]
Gasping for air
I'm gasping for air, I'm gasping for love
I'm gasping for air
[Verse 3]
Slit the cats like cheese
Then eat the sweet sticky things
Suck harder, suck harder
Suck your insides, insides out
Blood thick swimming round your feet
As you're choking, choking
Choking on the fleshy words
[Chorus]
Give me it, give me it, give me it, deaden my glassy mind
Give me it, give me it, make me blind
One step back and one step down
And slip the needles in my side
[Bridge 2]
My head is cold, my hands are cold
My heart is cold, my heart is black
And stops every fucking night, every night
I wait until it stops, but it's...
Sing birds, sing birds, sing birds, sing
Get away, get away
Get away, get away
[Outro]
Give me it, give me it
Give me it, give me it
Give me it, give me it, give me it
Give me it, give me it
