Love Me Dead

(album: You're Awful, I Love You - 2008)

Love me cancerously, like a salt-sore soaked in the sea
"High maintenance" means you're a gluttonous queen
Narcissistic and mean
Kill me romantically, fill my soul with vomit
then ask me for a piece of gum
Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum
You're awful, I love you...

[Chorus:]
She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften, her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed...
Must be the sign on my head, it says
"Oh love me dead!" Love me dead

You're a faith-healer on tv
You're an office park without any trees
Corporate and cold, gushing for gold, leave me alone
You suck so passionately
You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature
Finger-banging my heart
You call me up drunk, does the fun ever start?
You're hideous...and sexy!

[Chorus]

Wow! Uh!

Love me cancerously
Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da!
How's your new boy? Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast
You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften, her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed...
Wha' 'bout this sign on my head
It says "Oh love me dead!"
Love me dead! Love me dead! Love me dead!
Oh...love me dead!
