brilliant.
He’s a god, he’s a man,
he’s a ghost, he’s a guru
You’re one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand
my body is a monster driven insane
my heart is a fish toasted by flames
I kiss the hem of her skirt
my life is a box full of dirt
I murder her dress till it hurts
I murder her dress and she loves it
if there is one thing I desire in the world
is to make love to my
zoo music girl
Hands up who wants to die!
Evil heat is running through me
Flame on! Flame on!
