Residents - Lillie lyrics

I saw a woman chewing with nothing in her mouth;

Her teeth were in her hands and her tongue was hanging out;

The she started drooling and caught it in a cup,

The cup was full of pennies; it spilled when she got up.

Some guy is in the shadows grabbing empty air;

He could be catching butterflies if there were any there.

All the freaks are not inside the tents

Some pay to come and be in the audience.

I saw a great big guy who had a little gun;

He pulled it out and smiled and then he sucked his thumb

His wife was standing by with a leather leash

Fastened to a child who cried beside their feet.

The scary one is back with clothes so white and clean;

And her face that's coated with a quarter inch of cream-cold cream

She's the one who freaks the freaks out

Lillie little Lillie, Lillie little Lillie, Lillie chilling Lillie

Lillie with her white face.

Delicate Lillie is stainlessly lonely and

She is too white

Like a face in a flashlight with teeth that might bite

She is too white

Like dice rolling snakeeyes in headlights at night

She is too white

Like a corpse in the sunshine or eyes in a fight

There's a spot a spot on my glove on my glove I know, no no maybe it

was make em runny make em runny honey... doilies doilies where have all

the doilies gone...

Roses will whither and die

Along with the lace and the lies

Nothing is nicer than death

At matching the bad and the best

Heh heh... he hated me he hated me and hate is white and hate is hot

but I'll not even have disdain for him not even a stain on a memory

looked up to, lacking all respect for him I'm blacking out the specks

of decent thoughts that linger in me and leave only white white

peaceful white calm white swans silently flying in the snow look down

and see the bleached bones of a noble knight who died trying to save

his lady his lovely white lady who brought her man milk in the

moonlight but it was too late too late too late he said

Scratch out all the pin holes

Open up the sores

Don't look out the window

White hatred's at the door.

And he tried to make me dirty make me dirty make me dirty.

Touch her someone

Touch her someone

Reach out to her

Touch her soiled soul.
