[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Oh comely
I will be with
you when you
lose your brea
th
Chasing the on
ly meaningful
memory you tho
ught you had l
eft
With some pret
ty, bright, an
d bubbly terri
ble scene
That was doing
her thing on
your chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pr
etty as you'd
like to guess
In your memory, you're drunk on your awe to me
It doesn't mea
n anything at
all
[Verse 2]
Oh comely
All of your fr
iends are all
letting you bl
ow
Bristling and
ugly
Bursting with
fruits falling
out from the
holes
Of some pretty
, bright, and
bubbly friend
You could need
to say comfor
ting things in
your ear
But oh comely
There isn't su
ch one friend
that you could
find here
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
I'll crush him
with everythi
ng I own
[Chorus]
Say what you w
anna say
and hang for y
our hollow way
s your always
moving your mo
uth
to pull out al
l your miracle
s aimed for me
[Verse 3]
Your father ma
de fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
While you and
your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous spa
rks from the d
ark of the sta
diums
The music and
medicine you n
eeded for comf
orting
So make all yo
ur fat fleshy
fingers to mov
ing
And pluck all
your silly str
ings
And bend all your notes for me
And soft silly
music is mean
ingful magical
The movements
were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them mi
lking with gre
en fleshy flow
ers
While powerful
pistons were
sugary sweet m
achines
Smelling of se
men all under
the garden
Was all you we
re needing whe
n you still be
lieved in me
[Chorus]
Say what you w
anna say
and hang for y
our hollow way
s your always
moving your mo
uth
to pull out al
l your miracle
s aimed for me
[Bridge]
(Da da da part
)
[Verse 4]
I know they bu
ried her body
with others
Her sister and
mother and 50
0 families
And will she r
emember me 50
years later
I wished I cou
ld save her in
some sort of
time machine
Know all your
enemies
We know who ou
r enemies are
Know all your
enemies
We know who ou
r enemies are
[Bridge]
(x3)
Goldaline, my
dear
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from
here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But now we mov
e to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your bod
y here
Let your skin
begin to blend
itself with m
ine
