lyrics

With a breath of swamp and smoke,
I'll kiss your mouth till you choke me down -
my dead-fish tongue, and spite and hate.

What do you want me to be?
Maybe I'll just be what you say you fear -
a cannibal, a murderess.

I'm gonna love the way you look,
warming in this sauna, a witch's bath.
And I'm gonna love the way you cook -
"A Damn Good Meal" as your epitaph.

Do you like my dance?
I dance in Salome's feet.

This is death and the maiden reversed:
My stricken face wan and pale with thirst.
You philanthropist, you imperial weevil.

What do you want me to be?
Maybe I'll just be what you say you fear -
oneiric vision, succubus.

I'm gonna love the way you look,
warming in this sauna, this witch's bath.
And I'm gonna love the way you cook -
"A Damn Good Meal" as your epitaph.

Now I dance in your feet,
And you are so much less graceful.

I can tell you longed for death.
You bull, you screw, you filth.
I could smell it on your breath,
You porcine, vulpine, creature.

Oh! Where did you go?
Oh! Where did you go?
You walked down the wrong path,
and into this witch's bath.
