Veruca Salt - American Thighs Album Lyrics

Oh
So sorry lady
So sorry now
I've killed your baby
I don't know how

So sorry
So sorry now

So sorry mister (oh oh)
But don't look now (oh oh)
I've got your sister (sister)
I shot her down

So sorry
So sorry now

'Cause I'm a bad man
I do what I can
I'm a bad man
I do what I can
I'm a bad man
I do what I can

All hail me

So sorry mother
I've let you down
I'm soaked in blood here
I can't get out

So sorry
So sorry now

'Cause I'm a bad man
I do what I can
I'm a bad man
I do what I can
I'm a bad man
I do what I can

All hail me

Oh I'm melting
Melt your baby
That did not work so very well

Seether is neither loose nor tight
Seether is neither black nor white
I try to keep her on a short leash
I try to calm her down
I try to ram her into the ground, yeah

Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth

Seether is neither big nor small
Seether is the center of it all
I try to rock her in my cradle
I try to knock her out
I try to cram her back in my mouth, yeah

Can't fight the seether (seether)
Can't fight the seether (seether)
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth

Keep her down, boiling water
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter
Oh she is not born like other girls
But I know how to conceive her
Oh she may not look like other girls
But she's a snarl tooth seether, seether

Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth

Can't fight the seether (seether)
Can't fight the seether (seether)
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth

Yeah

You're so nice,
you tie me in a web
and cradle me till dawn.
You're so deadly
that I can see your breath
beneath me when you're gone.
You're so windy,
I'd like to pin you down
and tack you to the wall.
Spiderman [x2]
Spider Sunday,
you blaze up from the South
with oil on your hands.
I'm streaked in grease and grime,
and idle mouths,
you spoiled all my plans.
Spiderman [x2]
I can't take more of that. [x4]
Tiny truck stop,
you lay me in a towel,
and savour me like a lamb.
You smell of corduroy and lemon drops,
and reds pulled from a can
I dream in black and white
I've long forgot exactly who I am.
A spiderman.
Spiderman. Oh, man.
Spiderman [x3]

Yellow baby, a yellow baby is a bad sign.
But I don't mind, I don't mind.
Ohhh, Forsythia.

Spider monkey, a spider monkey is a good lie.
But I don't know why.
Ohhh, Forsythia, oh-ohhh.

I don't mind sitting in the way, way back.
I don't mind, lying to my friends.
One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow, I'm no longer me.

Yellow daisy, a dandelion or a pussy willow,
It's a different thing.
Oh-oh, Forsythia. Forsythia. Forsythia.

One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow I'm no longer me.

One thing about Forsythia...
There's one thing about Forsythia...

That was a time for falling;
I knew you well.
There was no time
for calling me when you fell.
This is a time to take cover
in a wishing well.
Summer was blowing
all over me when you fell.
Sailors can take all the breathing
out of the sail.
I took a trip when you needed me.
When you fell,
waters were driving me to a deep place
I closed my eyes to see your sweet face,
a Coke can beside me
I slept in hell.
Angels can be so deceiving
when they love you well.
Did you think you would be leaving me?
These are some lavender flowers
in a broken shell
(I know it's broken..)
They comfort me ever since
the day when you fell.
When you fell,
waters were dancing
in a dark place; I closed my eyes
to see your determined face.
My secret inside me,
I slept in hell.
This is a time for believing
in fairy tales.
One in which you are brought back to me.
Wolf,... I cried wolf. [x3]

I wear my patent leather shoes
And my golden fleeces,
A feather in my hair for you
And then I fall to pieces

At your
Celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebrate you.

We're quiet as two mannequins
Feasting on silences.
We wait for Christmas to begin
To see the cracking faces.

I tip my glass and toast to you,
The blood spills on the carpet
At your

Celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebrate you.

And in the dream you held a gun;
You killed off all who hurt you
And left me there the only one
Who would not dare desert you.

I'm safe here growing in the shade,
Away from all your brightness.
I lost my innocence today
When I learned how to write this.

Tonight my nightgown is in knots.
I toss and turn in your honor.
I'll never know just what I have got
As long as you're my father.
And I'll keep searching here for you,
I'll clean out every corner.

It's not my fault.
It's not my fault. (celebrate you)
It's not my fault. (celebrate you)
It's not my fault. (celebrate you)
It's not my fault.

Twice bitten, twice baked.
Twice led down the same mistake.
Try me on a Saturday, try me.
Try me.

Fine fool for a holiday.
Slow sun in a Spanish way
One heart for one week of May, why me?
Why me?

Twice given to yesterday
Right for a foray with fate.
Fly me home to heaven's gate, fly me.
Fly me. Fly...

Twice bitten, twice baked.
Twice led down the same mistake.
Try me on a Saturday, try me.
Try me.
Try me, try me.

Be my blind.
Be it all the time.
Be it night or day,
Take my sun away, away.

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

Blind me please, I am on my hands and knees.
I can only pray
Take my sun away, away.

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

It is time.
It is time (oh-oh).

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

Levolor, Levolor, Levolor, Levolor...

You're so wonderful,
I adore you, [x3] Victrola.
You're so audio.
Don't remove me to a movie,
I am grooving, Victrola.
Happy new year [x3]
You're my winter love,
I can lie here
with you so near.
We both live here.
Happy new year.
You're my sweet dear Victrola. Victrola.

Flying, when all I want to do is die
Feels like your, flyin'
Oh God, I wish that I could, fly
You want to lift me up
But you don't know, and you don't see...
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways, oh.
Breathing, when all I want to do is drown.

You keep on breathing and I keep on sinking down, oh, oh.
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see...
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see...
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

I'm afraid I will never change.
It's ok, I am not ashamed.
I can say that my bed is made.
You can bend me,
shape me, anyway...
You can bend me,
shape me anyway you want me.
I maintain I am not in pain.
How I try not to place the blame.
I came late to an early game.
You can bend me,
shape me, anyway...
You can bend me,
shape me, anyway...
You can bend me,
shape me anyway you want me.
When I was five,
I took a dive.
When I was ten,
I walked again.
When I was fifteen,
I kept my motor clean.
When I was twenty,
I got plenty.
When I was twenty-five... [x2]

This is my favorite disease,
I am sleeping in his dreams
And the TV is on
It is seeping into me
It is guiding my dreams
It is only three
So it's jeopardy

You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to.

This is my favorite time
I can sleep until the phone rings
And I doubt that it will.

You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to
