Did you forget me No. You say my name when you breathe. My name is tattooed under your skin I am not your first, But I am, Your original sin Your original sin Are you aware Are you awake Are you my apple or my… Did you forget me No. You say my name when you breathe. My name is tattooed under your skin I am not your first, But I am, Your original sin Your original sin

I’ve got these heavy Jewish breasts I’ve got these heavy Jewish breasts You can see them On the internet These heavy Jewish breasts I’ve got this long Jewish nose I’ve got this long Jewish nose And I’m aloof I’ve been told I’ve got this long Jewish nose I’ve got this great Jewish ass I’ve got this great Jewish ass I’m the epitome Of class I’ve got this great Jewish ass I’m gonna dance on your grave I’m gonna dance on your grave No one can tell me to behave I’m gonna dance on your grave I’m gonna dance on your grave I’m gonna dance on your grave No one can tell me to behave I’m gonna dance on your grave

How does your hunger feed me? How does your pain soothe me? How does you need sustain me? I’m here to solve not to satisfy I’m here to solve not to satisfy How does your failure build me? How does your weakness grow? How does your loneliness…? I’m here to solve not to satisfy I’m here to solve not to satisfy Cuz there’s no money in Satisfaction (There’s no money) Cuz there’s no money in Satisfaction (There’s no money) Cuz there’s no money in Satisfaction (There’s no money) There’s no money

I’m looking for your scars They tell me about what was The fights you’ve won The fights you’ve lost Your scars tell me about the cost To you I’m looking for your scars They say you’re just like me Our trauma makes us family Funny how pain can be so bonding, really I’m looking for your scars Maybe I’m a sick fuck Maybe you and I are in luck It’s not the freckles in our eyes It’s the shit we’ve been through in our lives I’m looking for the scars I’m looking I’m looking for the scars I’m looking Is it wrong, is it right Is it flight, is it fight Is it you, is it me Is it wrong, is it right Is it flight, is it fight Is it you, is it me I’m looking for the scars I’m looking I’m looking for the scars I’m looking

My Indigo Blue I fell for you Your dark and your light I’m falling But it feels like flight And you held me oh so tight Through that long dark night Sometimes it was too much But it still felt right My Indigo Blue I fell for you And I’ll keep falling If it brings me back to you My Indigo Blue I fell for you And I’ll keep falling If it brings me back to you

You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost You haunt the edges of me Bumping into precious things Pulling on loose-ended strings You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost Never near but never far Hanging just outside my door Can’t see you but I know just where you are You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost I don’t know how to let go When I’m being haunted so close I don’t know how to let go When I’m being haunted so close You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost You haunt the edges of me You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost Pulling on loose-ended strings You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost Never near but never far You’re a soft, you’re a soft, soft ghost
