St. Exquisite's Confessions
Of Montreal · Skeletal Lamping (Dig) [2008]
I've forgotten what it takes to please a woman
But that's all gonna change
(Oooh, all gonna change)
Yeah-ha, that's all gonna change
(Oooh, all gonna change)
Now the freaks wanna take me home to see if the rumors are true
If the rumors are true
So I kick open the doors and windows to let the world here show
There's so much anger and pain
But come and see, there's still some gentle people fucking to strawberry letter twenty-three
(Bitch)
Now we're both laughing
(Bitch)
Yeah, we're both laughing
(Bitch)
Yeah, we're both laughing
(Bitch)
Maybe I'll blow you whatever kind of kisses you want
Because you've got so much in common with my big cock creator
We function on the lowest human level
But still somehow keep living
I thought it was over but it all still hurts the same
(Ooh, all hurts the same)
Yeah, it still hurts the same
(Ooh, all hurts the same)
I only photograph my fascinations
'Til the stress of the flash makes them fade
The danger is real, but I'm mute to the feeling
We started by giving each other interesting notes over case
So just a dream back to the surface
Clarify my empty elephant of some beautiful death
It's time to get to know the article that you'll be stripping
Ladies of the spread
You better keep my secrets in that perfume poodle head
Now it's so come on (come on)
To daub replacement of my cheaper dreams from the bottom of my hotel pool
The lion leap fellow is pendant and then
We talked about Valerie and her week of wonders
Ahhh
E-V-I-L
She loves it too, beautiful face
Oo-oh, Ahh, Oo-oh, Ah-ahh...
Feeling voices again not good
Look the sky is pregnant with maggots
Where something happened in the parking lot
I'm searching for the context, not finding it
Don't make it real for me, and somethings are better left victims
