Your licorice and alcohol went down easily
It kept me from believing in anything I see
It sugared up my tongue and filmed over my eyes
False and smooth as bu*ter set out for the flies
My lovers, they are hookers dressed up as believers
And I could not be more indifferent to either
You took a pill for bedtime, you took a pill for school
You took my favorite socks, and you took me for a fool
I'm waiting here, and parked beside the road
With pockets full of letters and everything I showed
Fences, fences, I'll take my chances, I paired us off and parried us
This thing is bigger than the sky, twice what I can see in size
My lovers, they are hookers selling off their fingers
Telling me I linger, tying off my hands
Dressed as the fever, dressed up as the flu
Leaving me in pitch black, loving me when I'm blue
