Gouge Away Lyrics

[Chorus: Black Francis, Kim Deal]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
Mhm, mhm, mhm, hm
Hm-hm, mhm, hm

[Verse 1: Black Francis]
Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions
You stroke my locks
Some marijuana if you got some

[Chorus: Black Francis, Kim Deal]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
La, la
Oh, oh

[Verse 2: Black Francis]
Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms
You spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers

[Chorus: Black Francis, Kim Deal]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
Mhm

[Verse 3: Black Francis]
Chained to the pillars
A 3-day party
I break the walls
And kill us all with holy fingers

[Chorus: Black Francis]
Gouge away (La la)
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
