lyrics

peace sign bowfinger wallet lickers
she says never with a bartender
I say never with a bitch ever
walk outside to feel the weather
dry ice burn upon a finger
run my hands under the water
dead skin just looks so much thicker
soap don't make you any slicker

I'll wash my hands until they're clean
basic is as basic sees
lye don't bother me
lye, don't talk to me

I'll wash my hands until they bleed
caustic is as caustic sees
lye don't bother me
lye, don't talk to me

wet etch sniff swallow cough retch feel much better
who said featherbeds? we sleep on taught leather
you said this was made with holy water
no someone just left it on the counter

I'll stare at you until you leave
one red light is all I see
lye, what's wrong with me?
lye, what's left of me?

I peel my skin right off of me
find a new geometry
lye reduces me
lye takes care of me
