lyrics

Feed an apple to the coffin,
that big jawed horse.
Sugar cube in your hand...
Tall white teeth crunch.

You do it to get what you want.
You do it to get what you need.
You do it for a purpose,
and it's making me nervous.

Flattering.
Dissembling
Lying and lying.

They built this coffin
out of self-love,
and called it a son.
Beneath the smile
there’s a body
nailed down and screaming.

Like a sick building
sheds insulation,
asbestos leaves his mouth.
Such nice compliments.

You do it to get what you want.
You do it to get what you need.
You do it for a purpose,
and it's making me nervous.

Screaming.
Howling.
Crying and crying.

A coffin whose teeth
are always chewing
its splinters in your eyes.
It eats and eats
the house, the stairs,
the mirrors and the flies.

So stand and watch the hearse go by.
Stand and watch the coffin roll by.
The sun inflamed as a tooth;
all the sugar rotted its youth.
The coffin sucks the whole sun dry,
the obsessive sucks the whole sun dry.
Isn't this their youth?
