Flannery O'Connor Lyrics

Flannery O'Connor

Give up

I'm already melting

In the back of a bus bound for a sorta date

And she was born to believe

And I'm baptized in the bath

Where my best friend breathes

If you don't love my hometown you don't love me

Flannery O'Connor

I'm busted

I'm close to heaven

So you spike the punch with a pint of your wise blood

And take me home to be abused

By a quarter black girl

With low IQ

Who reminds me of a tent I past tense used

The conversation is dull

In the police lineup

And stack all the birds you pull

You know that addicts never add it up

My addict add it up

No chatterboxerly lady

No DH sex in HD

Flannery O'Connor

To the backyard

And the geranium

And your v card

Is laminated

Flannery O'Connor you know

I'm so deserving of this

You lose your daughter in the big sleep

She calls in panic when she gets too deep

She takes her clothes off

To pose egyptian

For pictures she'll never see

Neat little body when she's high on laudanum

Sniff the ether

Cherry blossoms

On his chinese linens

The colour's just right

The blood almost blended in

Try to decide if you love or hate

The epileptic fits of love you make

She goes like giggles

It's almost murder

The shit she gets away with

And then you hold her like a sawn-off shotgun

She works you over

It's time you got some

And blow it all on roulette

She was a dynamite kisser but she tasted like cigarettes

I was almost your body

Be my caddy

Be my hobby

And you know it's such a threat

when I get you undressed

And our mamas

Were beneath us

Gave us sneakers

Facial features

And you know it's disrespect

Soon as I hold you down

And I suck out your breath
