HOLE

- Turpentine Lyrics

It'll come down and look you in the eye
The way you're gonna go with no place to die
The water breaks like turpentine
I sit dead in the sacrifice
You getta watch, you getta watch
Now you getta watch me die
Bless my body and bless my soul
Rip it in turpentine
See you standing- whatever for
All the dolls they're like an old whore
Who really knows where the ruby ride
I see all the sick reflections in your ruby eyes
And I know all you devils by your Christian names
And I know all you bitches by your Christian names
I getta watch, I getta watch
Now I getta watch you die
Bless my body and bless my soul
Rip it in turpentine
Put your head up over your leg
Count backwards from infinity
Eat the rose and the dirt it grows in
Hey, I don't even know what hole that's supposed to go in
Now you're mad and you're snubbing me
Stinks of metal in the junky tree
You getta watch, you getta watch
Now you getta watch me die
Bless my body, bless my soul
Rip it in turpentine
Put your leg up over your head
I better walk you to your suicide
'Cos you fear maybe hold down suicide
I cease to exist on the Christmas list
I cease to exist in your disease
I lie right down baby give it to me
I lie right down
Nowhere walking backwards...
