The title of this track is a reference to the New Zealand singer/songwriter Darcy Clay, who committed suicide in 1998 after recording only a short EP of well received tracks. The chorus of this song is most likely playing off of Clay’s most popular song ‘Jesus I Was Evil’ which was a number 5 hit in...
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I can see the bones enshrouded in my skin
And I can feel the way that I might tunnel in
And I can drink a plastic cup of L&P or 7-Up
What's down is up and I am up through thick and thin
[Chorus]
Cause I am evil, and I am breathing
[Verse 2]
And I have hair inside the substance of my eyes
That makes me blind to all that I would terrorize
And my emotions are all dead, I'll eat the crust off all the bread
Take me to bed and, baby, I am sure to rise
[Chorus]
Cause I am evil, and I am breathing
[Verse 3]
Come to my guillotine and take a slice of me
Spin out you're world wide web of glib celebrity
Take off your wig and make me grin, for I can see the state you're in
You'll never win despite your fine hypocrisy
[Chorus]
Cause I'm heedful, and I'm breathing
Cause I am evil, and I am breathing
[Verse 4]
Get off your highchair, mix a drink and stroke my thigh
Eat all the buttons off my shirt and you'll be high
Shoot out the hearts of all your foes, come as you are with plastic hose
And goodness knows you may be written on the sky
[Chorus]
Cause I'm gleeful, and I'm breathing
Cause I am evil, and I am breathing
[Verse 5]
And help me celebrate the fatal mess I'm in
Drown every sorrow we can find in baths of gin
For there is less than what you see inside the outer husk of me
Oh misery, I can't believe you got so thin
[Chorus]
Cause I'm primeval, and I'm breathing
[Verse 6]
Give me formaldehyde and shiny silken robes
Or polyester, I don't care 'bout party clothes
I wanna look like Darcy Clay, I've always been a lousy lay
I wanna say good bye to both my frontal lobes
[Chorus]
Cause I am evil, and I am bleeding
Yeah I am evil, and I am bleeding
Yeah I'm primeval, and I am bleeding
Yeah I am evil, and I am bleeding
