| MAINT REQD, push through the pain
|
| What the flame does not consume consumes the flame
|
| We’re burnin' at both ends, it’s safe to assume
|
| What doesn’t consume the flame the flame consumes
|
| MAINT REQD, push through the pain
|
| What the flame does not consume consumes the flame
|
| Burnin' at both ends, we’re hoping and praying for rain
|
| Listen: a lie is just a lie if you believe that they’ll believe it
|
| Otherwise it’s just some sly legal speak, so we keep our secrets
|
| I wrap mine up in a silk robe
|
| They prance around the home like princesses obsessed with kissing every toad
|
| But ain’t no prince here
|
| In fact, I had to slay the dragon I was chasing for the warts to disappear
|
| And dissect the frog, cut through the fog and do my thing
|
| In the land of the pigs, the butcher is king
|
| This is two-hundred and sixty pounds of ground meat in a town sound sleep
|
| Countin' cards while they count sheep
|
| Now I’m on a sacrificial lam, it’s collapse of the iron lung
|
| Had to remove the mask and ask what kind of trash am I among?
|
| Caught in the widow’s web the black spiders spun
|
| Taking a beating that’s so ancient that it’s basically a tribal drum
|
| I’m seeing stars and constellations
|
| Seeing warning signals in the universe’s dashboard they’re all saying
|
| MAINT REQD, push through the pain
|
| What the flame does not consume consumes the flame
|
| We’re burnin' at both ends, it’s safe to assume
|
| What doesn’t consume the flame the flame consumes
|
| MAINT REQD, push through the pain
|
| What the flame does not consume consumes the flame
|
| We’re burnin' at both ends, we’re hoping and praying for rain
|
| Paint me like one of your French girls
|
| Use my neck as a scratch post to rip out every last one of them red curls
|
| Knit me a sweater with the intestines of attention whores
|
| I’ve no expectations of the tripe I’ll have to settle for
|
| Circular logic is foul talk (it's mental sex for sport!)
|
| Abuse me like customer service (I'll be your tech support!)
|
| I’m sorry to hear you’re having problems
|
| It must be difficult. |
| Let me see if I can help you like… figure 'em out
|
| Have you listened to Biz Mark’s «Just a Friend»?
|
| Have you tried turning me off and back on again?
|
| If you Make-A-Wish on a foundation and there’s maintenance required
|
| All I ask is you be careful when you state what you desire
|
| They set satanists on fire without breaking a sweat
|
| All that pagan shit is tired, so I’m taking a rest
|
| I met my date at the pyre. |
| She was shorter than I like
|
| But wore a dress that’s as long as the night. |
| Then I saw the light
|
| MAINT REQD, push through the pain
|
| What the flame does not consume consumes the flame
|
| We’re burnin at both ends, it’s safe to assume
|
| What doesn’t consume the flame the flame consumes
|
| MAINT REQD, push through the pain
|
| What the flame does not consume consumes the flame
|
| Burnin' at both ends, we’re hoping and praying for rain
|
| Yeah, I’d settle on a bed of rusty nails instead of roses
|
| 'Cause a thorn by any other name and so on and so forth
|
| And so what? |
| I’ve got blood on my mattress
|
| Got a harem full of knife throwers who use my back for target practice
|
| I fucks with them butcher-types
|
| Inherited this cutlery along with the scars, and they all look alike
|
| Used to write confessions in between the lines
|
| And wear long sleeves so no one else could read my mind
|
| Now I exercise my right to bare arms when I write words
|
| The last polar bear taking a final stand on a melting iceberg
|
| Where nothing is exclusive or told confidence
|
| Sex could get abusive but everyone consents
|
| Anything that’s lucrative gets reduced to checks
|
| And now you’re wondering where your fair share of the fucking profit is
|
| Sorry kids, the piggy bank’s depleted
|
| Got a million dollar smile, but not the pretty face that’s needed
|
| Procede toward me, doggy. |
| I never tapped the bottle or twisted the cap whenever
|
| they passed the forty
|
| I’m fat boy disorderly. |
| Nothing fun about obesity
|
| But recently, I toyed with it morbidly
|
| Cordially invite you to the incredible, mind that bends metal
|
| No spoon is safe, no fork is too special
|
| Essentially we all know how the story ends
|
| How heavily the plot twist depends on a little bit of
|
| Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance
|
| My house bitches lololololololololol |
