Soul Coughing - MR. BITTERNESS lyrics

There is a bar they call The Bitter Sea.

And she sits and drinks a velvet crush--that's

Kool Aid and gin--casing the clientele

Like a relentless cameraman. She is

Elsewhere. She says You keep a-knocking

But you can't come in, and I say

Little Sister, don't you do what your Big Sister does

Spiral down down down down down down down

Well desire looks just like you with an uzi nine

Gundown fifteen bystanders in a roadside driveby

Desire is the grassfire drinking gasoline

And she says Open up your mouth, man, let me come inside

Spiral down down down down down down down

She cracked

Now they call me Mr. Bitterness

She snapped

Now they call me Mr. Bitterness

She's gone,

Gone gone

Aaah, leaning up against the wall

I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone

I will spit the blue flame and hurl my glass against the wall

And I will hear your name coming out from a boom box

I will hear your name called out from passing cars

Spiral down down down down down down down

She cracked...
