G|--------------------------------------------|Lyrics: Riff A
Beneath those locks of dirty red hair
A necklace of follicles with sabertooth monocles
Riff A
They want a bouquet of black rose gems
Castrating kisses stalagtite stems
Riff A
They went a built a capsule in the cyanide one
Where the holiest of water would have you to drown
Tomorrow is a gift...
