[Verse 1]

Avalanche is sullen and too thin

She starves herself to rid herself of sin

And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin

And she says:


[Chorus]

Hey baby, can you bleed like me?

C'mon baby, can you bleed like me?


[Verse 2]

Chris is all dressed up and acting coy

Painted like a brand new Christmas toy

He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy

And he says:


[Chorus]

Hey baby, can you bleed like me?

Oh, c'mon baby, can you bleed like me?


[Instrumental break]


[Verse 3]

Doodle takes dad's scissors to her skin

And when she does relief comes setting in

While she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes

She sings:


[Chorus]

Hey baby, can you bleed like me?

C'mon baby, can you bleed like me?


[Verse 4]

Therapy is Speedie's brand new drug

Dancing with the devil's past has never been too fun

It's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun

And she cries:


[Chorus]

Hey baby, can you bleed like me?

Oh, c'mon baby, can you bleed like me?


[Instrumental break]


[Verse 5]

J.T. gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar

After two drinks he's a loser, after three drinks he's a star

Getting all nostalgic as he sings "I Will Survive"


[Chorus]

Hey baby, can you bleed like me?

Oh, c'mon baby, can you bleed like me?

Hey baby, can you bleed like me?

Oh, c'mon baby, can you bleed like me?


[Breakdown]

You should see my scars

You should see my scars

You should see my scars

You should see my scars

Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend


[Outro]

(You should see my scars)

La la la

La la la

(You should see my scars)

La la la

La la la
