[Verse 1]

Now's the time to melt to walls

Needles and pins and a voodoo doll

With you, I'll gladly overdose

One march to snow, the heavens know


[Chorus 1]

Bring me through your please-me groove

Lost, bitter, pain is flowing through

She's just a flower choked by weeds

I've got to try to cure my need


[Verse 2]

Obsessed with selection, I'm a boy with horns

An eyeful of reflection, I know no form

Change the infusion, do it alone

Land jeeps stammering, disrupt the flow


[Chorus 2]

Close to death, foolish and trashed

Heart drawn in ashes, drink down another glass

I wish that I couldn't stand

We could put this cyclone in a trance


[Verse 3]

Believe you angelic one, my nerves are tried

I aim to conquer and divide

I see the holy picture to know

Maybe a werewolf chewin' on your bones


[Chorus 3]

Wondering forever, uncertain of my health

Like me I saw you hiding, drowning in yourself

Scrambling my heart, trembling a laugh

You can't fool me, you're no pussycat
