in Utero


SERVE THE SERVANTS Teenage angst has paid off well Now I'm bored and old Self-Appointed judges judge More than they have sold If she floats than she is not A witch like we had thought A down payment on another One at salem's lot Serve the servants - Oh no That legendary divorce is such a bore As my bones grew they did hurt They hurt really bad I tried hard to have a father But instead I had a dad I just want you to know that I Don't hate you anymore there is nothing I could say that I haven't thought before Serve the servants - oh no That legendary divorce is such a bore


    SCENTLESS APPRENTICE
    
    Like most babies smell like butter
    his smell smelled like no other
    he was born scentless and senseless
    he was born a scentless apprentice
    
    Go away - get away, get away, get a-way
    every wet nurse refused to feed him
    electrolytes smell like semen
    
    I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
    there are countless formulas for pressing flowers
    
    I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms
    Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
    
    You can't fire me because I quit
    Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit
    


  
    She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
    I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
    I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
    I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
    
    Hey
    Wait
    I've got a new conplaint
    Forever in debt to your priceless advice
    Hate
    Haight
    I've got a new complaint
    Forever in debt to your prieless advice
    Hey
    Wait
    I've got a new complaint
    Forever in debt to your priceless advice
    
    Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
    Cut myself angel's hair and baby's breath
    Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
    Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back


    
    Rape me, my friend             
    Rape me again                  
                                   
    I'm not the only one           
    Do it and do it Again          
                                   
    Waste me                       
    Taste me, my friend            
                                   
    My favorite inside source      
    I'll kiss your open sores      
    Appreciate your concern        
    You'll always stink and burn   



    FRANCES FARMER WILL HAVE HER REVENGE ON SEATTLE
    
    It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
    It's so relaxing to hear you're asking wherever you get your way
    I's so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to
	sound the same
    I miss the comfort in being sad
    
    In her false withness, we hope you're still with us, to see if they gloar
	or drown
    Our favorite paitent, A display of patience, disease-covered Puget Sound
    She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars, and leave a blanket of ash
    on the ground I muss teh comfort in being sad



    DUMB
    
    I'm not like them
    But I can pretend
    The sun is gone
    But I have a light
    The day is done
    But I'm having fun
    
    I think I'm dumb
    or maybe just happy
    Think I'm just happy
    my heart is broke
    But I have some glue
    help me inhale
    And mend it with you
    We'll float around]
    And hang out on clouds
    Then we'll come down
    And I have a hangover...Have a hangover
    
    Skin the sun
    Falkl asleep
    Wish away
    The soul is cheap
    Lesson learned
    Wish me luck
    Soothe the burn
    Wake me up
    
    I'm not like them
    But I can pretend
    The sun is gone
    But I have a light
    The day is done
    But I'm having fun



    VERY APE
    
    I am buried up to my neck in
    Contradictionary lies
    I take pride as the kind of illiterature
    I'm very ape and very nice
    
    If you ever need anything please don't hesitate
    to ask someone else first
    I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive.
    I've seen it all I was here first
    
    Out of the ground
    Into the sky
    Out of the sky
    Into he firt



    MILK IT
    
    I am my own parasite
    I don't need a host to live
    We feed off of each other
    We can share our endorphns
    Doll steak, test meat
    
    I won my own pet virus
    I get to pet and name her
    Her milk is my shit
    My shit is her milk
    
    Doll steak, test meat
    Look on the bright side is suicide
    Lost eyesight I'm on your side
    Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
    Lack of iron and/or sleeping
    Protector of the kennel
    Ecto-plasma
    Ecto-Skeletal
    Obituary birthday
    Your scent is still here in my place of recovery



    PENNYROYAL TEA
    
    I'm on my time with everyone
    I have very bad posture
    Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
    Distill the life that's inside of me
    Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
    I'm anemic royalty
    Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
    So I can sigh enternally
    I'm so tired I can't sleep
    I'm a liar and a thief
    
    Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea
    I'm anemic royalty
    I'm on warm milk and laxatives
    Cherry-flavored antacids



    RADIO FRIENDLY UNIT SHIFTER
    
    Use just once and destroy
    Invasion of our piracy
    Afterbirth of a nation
    Starve without your skeleton key
    
    I love you for what I am not
    I do not want what I have got
    A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns
    Speak at once while taking turns
    Second-rate third defree burns
    What is wrong with me
    What is what I need
    What do I think I think
    This had nothing to do with what you think
    If you ever think at all
    Bi-polar opposites attract
    All of a sudden my water broke
    hate, hate your enemies
    Save, save your friends
    Find, find your place
    Speak, speak the truth

    ALL APOLOGIES
    
    What else should I be
    All apologies
    What else should I say
    Everyone is gay
    What else could I write
    I don't have the right
    What else should I be
    All apologies
    
    In the sun
    In the sun I feed as one
    In the sun
    In the sun
    I'm married
    buried
    I wish I was like you
    Easily amused
    Find my nest of salt
    Everything is my fault
    I'll take all the blame
    Aqur scafoam shame
    Sunburn with freezeburn
    Choking on the ashes of her enemy
    All in all we all are
