Song Against Sex Lyrics

And the first one tore a picture

Of a dead and hanging man 

Who was kissing foreign fishes 

That flew right out from this hands

And when I put my arms around him

I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks

And an eeriness surrounded when his tongue began to speak

And he said...Oh boy you are so pretty

Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string... 

And when I finally kissed him the whole world began to ring

Lost like a bell that's tipping over 

With two cracks along both sides 

And I knew the world was over so I took a look outside

And watched the fires that were reaching 

Up to the weather vane and the tops of trees 

And the waiting scene and the sunday dream

They're all waiting here for me



Deli markets with their flower stands

Pretty girls and the burning men 

Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays

And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face 

Across a bridge and across the mountains

Threw a nickel in a fountain 

To save my soul from all these troubled times 

And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take 

To soothe my mind so I'm always sober

Always aching, always heading towards 

Mass suicide, occult figurines

And wasted gas-station attendents

Attending to their jobs

And a nice drive in the country 

Finds a nice cliff to drop off 

Oh when this world just gets so grating 

All the grittiness of life

But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you

You're too wonderful to die



From anything we could call loving

Any love worth living for

So I'll sleep out in the gutter 

You can sleep here on the floor

And when I wake up in the morning 

I forgot to lock the door

Because with a match that's mean and some gasoline

You won't see me anymore
