Where you gonna go with no place to die?
My water breaks like turpentine
While I sit like a pretty sacrifice

I see you standin'
Whatever for?
All abandoned like an old whore
VERSE:
Who really knows where the rubies rise?
I see all those sick reflections in your ruby eyes
And I know all you devils by your Christian names
And I know all you bitches by your Christian names
CHORUS:
Now I getta watch, I getta watch
Now I getta watch you die
Bless my body and bless my soul
Wrap it in turpentine

Acrid syphilic coteries
Put your head up over your legs
Count backwards from infinity
I said, oh, oh, whoa
VERSE:
I eat the rose and the dirt it grows in
You don't even know what hole that's supposed to go in
And now you're mad and you're snubbing me
It stinks up here in the junkie tree
CHORUS:
Now you getta watch, you getta watch
Now you getta watch me die
Bless my body and bless my soul
Wrap in turpentine
BRIDGE:
Acrid syphilic coteries
Put your legs up over your head
I better walk into your suicide
So you can feel them hold him down to his side
I cease to exist on the Christmas list
I cease to exist in the old disease
I lie right down, baby give it to me
I lie right down
Nowhere, walking backwards, forward...
Nowhere, walking backwards, forward...
Nowhere, walking backwards, forward...
Nowhere, walking backwards, forward...
Nowhere, backwards, forwards...
