Cripple And The Starfish

(album: Antony And The Johnsons - 2000)

Mr. Muscle forcing bursting
Stingy thingy into little me, me, me
But just "ripple" said the cripple
As my jaw dropped to the ground
Smile, smile

It's true I always wanted love to be
Hurtful
And it's true I always wanted love to be
Filled with pain

(And bruises)

Yes, so Cripple-Pig was happy
Screamed, "I just completely love you
There's no rhyme or reason
I'm changing like the seasons
Watch, I'll even cut off my finger
It'll grow back like a starfish
It'll grow back like a starfish
It'll grow back like a starfish"

Mr. Muscle, gazing boredly
And he, checking time, did punch me
And I sighed and bleeded like a windfall
Happy bleedy, happy bruisy

I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very, very happy
So please hurt me

I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very, very happy
So come on and hurt me

I'll grow back like a starfish...
