S: Skin and Bones
I:
Finger scratching on glass
V1:
I could not even measure up to the feet of your expectations.
Miscarried my mind,
Miscegenation.
Sundays are for lovers,
Down in Virginia, that’s all they know.
But I have known no lover,
No love left alone.
B:
Wind through the keyhole…
heavy breathing
Wind rolls through my eye sockets…
C:
Lowlife’s high life,
Clutching my pearls as they spill down the drain.
Blood clot on Monday,
Face down on Friday,
Honey, it’s my way or the highway…
Going sideways, hangin’ ten,
Cadillac black and Novocaine stack-
Skin and bones way down my back.
V2:
My first love was my wisdom tooth.
It took up residency in my core,
Nice and warm and so much more.
As the days passed, it started to burn and rot and swell-
Stifled my tongue so I couldn’t yell.
Super sweet cavity...oh,
Waste, waste, waste, waste…!
Got my pliers at the ready, no time to waste…!
B:
Root canal, swab and spill,
Yank ‘er out ‘til ya got the kill...
(X4)
...
Scream
C:
Lowlife’s high life,
Clutching my pearls as they spill down the drain.
Blood clot on Monday,
Face down on Friday,
Honey, it’s my way or the highway…
Going sideways, hangin’ ten,
Cadillac black and Novocaine stack-
Skin and bones way down my back.
V3:
Limbs go weak,
Double vision,
Can barely speak.
Time flows in reverse.
Please-
Pronounce me dead and end this curse.
Tinnitus, tinnitus, make the call- (ringing noise)
“I still love you… (ringing increases in volume)
Now do yourself a favor and fall.” (ringing stops suddenly)
C:
Lowlife’s high life,
Clutching my pearls as they spill down the drain.
Blood clot on Monday,
Face down on Friday,
Honey, it’s my way or the highway…
Going sideways, hangin’ ten,
Cadillac black and Novocaine stack…
Taste you on my tongue like a heart attack.
O:
Sound of a pair of pliers falling on a table, relieved breath
