(The slow circling of the drain)How could you
Let it in your house
And let it in your bed?
Between the wall inlay
Another shiv insteadSo how did it taste
When you kiss it on the face?
To when the blue eyes sail in from the north
I guess you do what you do
If you need to fill some empty spaceAnything you need from me
The eight arms around you?
Another heart to pound for you
Another set of awkward lungs
We breathe up the air of men
We don't pretend
A liver a lung a kidney a thumb
Lies in some heart of some beloved
Because the best part is
You never know just what they're capable of(Slow circling of the drain, the slow circling of the drain)Sleep with the fishes!(No one, really knows anyone, no one, really knows anyone)We do what we do
To fill the empty space
We do what we do
To fill the empty space
So what do I do
Oh, I'm running out of space!
Oh what do I do
When the claws dig in and drag me from this placeYou'll never live to see the ocean
You'll never live to see this sky
You'll never live to see any garden
and drag the river and complySo clamp it like a compass
And let me know where I should be
And when it's cold and snowy
Melt the blood you froze in me(I smell it on my sheets for days
I smell it in my room
I smell it on my hands for weeks
These dirty hands all over you)Anything you need from me
The eight arms around you
Another heart to pound for you
Another set of awkward lungs
We breathe up the air of menWe don't pretend
A liver a lung a kidney a thumb
Lies in some heart of some beloved
Because the best part is, the best part is(sleep with the fishes)You can sleep with the fishes
before I sleep with youMy little nest of vipers,
My little miss know-it-all,
My little nest of vipers,
My little miss know-it-allDrive carefully dear
