lyrics

Black and blue
Dust and ooze
Black and blue
Black and blue

For 75 years
I’ve made a lot of fear
I’ve crawled inside a mask or two
I’ve licked a face
I’ve been a ghoul

I’ve laid little Lizzy down a time or two
She said she liked my style
So I tipped my fingers roundabout
To turn those mother fuckers wild

Oh baby
I just want to find
A supple hole

Oh god
A wet place
To die
That’s all mine

For 75 years
I’ve made a lot of fear
I’ve asked kindly for another dance
A day
A place
A mind that’s mine

That’s fine
I find myself again
I hated all the time I had
To rot and ooze
And grow and pine
And finally find myself

Black and blue
Dust and ooze
Black and blue
Black and blue

Oh lord
Oh dusty sky
I don’t who I was
And even now
A dead man
I don’t know who I am
