In Utero Lyrics


   Serve The Servants
   Scentless Apprentice
   Heart-Shaped Box
   Rape Me
   Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
   Dumb
   Very Ape
   Milk It
   Pennroyal Tea
   Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
        Tourette's
   Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip
 
 
SERVE THE SERVANTS

Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-Appointed judges judge
More than they have sold

If she floats than she is not
A witch like we had thought
A down payment on another
One at salem's lot

Serve the servants - Oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore

As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a dad

I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
there is nothing I could say
that I haven't thought before

Serve the servants - oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore


SCENTLESS APPRENTICE

Like most babies smell like butter
his smell smelled like no other
he was born scentless and senseless
he was born a scentless apprentice

Go away - get away, get away, get a-way
every wet nurse refused to feed him
electrolytes smell like semen

I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
there are countless formulas for pressing flowers

I lie in the soll and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume

You can't fire me because I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit


HEART-SHAPED BOX

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back


RAPE ME

Rape me, my friend
Rape me again

I'm not the only one

Hate me
Do it and do it again.

Waste me
Taste me, my friend.

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn


FRANCES FARMER WILL HAVE
HER REVENGE ON SEATTLE
It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid It's so relaxing to hear you're asking wherever you get your way I's so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same I miss the comfort in being sad In her false withness, we hope you're still with us, to see if they float or drown Our favorite paitent, A display of patience, disease-covered Puget Sound She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars, and leave a blanket of ash on the ground I miss the comfort in being sad DUMB I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done But I'm having fun I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy Think I'm just happy my heart is broke But I have some glue help me inhale And mend it with you We'll float around And hang out on clouds Then we'll come down And have a hangover...have a hangover Skin the sun Fall asleep Wish away The soul is cheap Lesson learned Wish me luck Soothe the burn Wake me up I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done But I'm having fun I think I'm dumb VERY APE I am buried up to my neck in Contradictionary flies I take pride as the king of illiterature I'm very ape and very nice If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask someone else first I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive. I've seen it all I was here first Out of the ground Into the sky Out of the sky Into the dirt MILK IT I am my own parasite I don't need a host to live We feed off of each other We can share our endorphns Doll steak, test meat I won my own pet virus I get to pet and name her Her milk is my shit My shit is her milk Doll steak, test meat Look on the bright side is suicide Lost eyesight I'm on your side Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing Lack of iron and/or sleeping Protector of the kennel Ecto-plasma Ecto-skeletal Obituary birthday Your scent is still here in my place of recovery PENNROYAL TEA I'm on my time with everyone I have very bad posture Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea Distill the life that's inside of me Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea I'm anemic royalty Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld So I can sigh eternally I'm so tired I can't sleep I'm a liar and a thief Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea Distill the life that's inside of me Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea I'm anemic royalty I'm on warm milk and laxatives Cherry-flavored antacids Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea Distill the life that's inside of me Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea I'm anemic royalty... RADIO FRIENDLY UNIT SHIFTER Use just once and destroy Invasion of our piracy Afterbirth of a nation Starve without your skeleton key I love you for what I am not I do not want what I have got A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns Speak at once while taking turns Second-rate third degree burns What is wrong with me What is what I need What do I think I think This had nothing to do with what you think If you ever think at all Bi-polar opposites attract All of a sudden my water broke Hate, hate your enemies Save, save your friends Find, find your place Speak, speak the truth TOURETTE'S "...Moderate Rock..." May day, every day, my day Could've had a heart attack, my heart We don't know anything, my heart. We all want something fair, my heart. Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Out of town, out of sight (fire), is my heart. Queen of lies, today, my heart One more on the phone, my heart One more at the door of my heart. Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyyyyyy! Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart -- uhhhhhhh! ALL APPOLIGIES What else should I be All appologies What else should I say Everyone is gay What else could I write I don't have the right What else should I be All appologies In the sun In the sun I feel it's warmth In the sun In the sun I'm married I wish I was like you Easily amused Find my nest of salt Everything is my fault I'll take all the blame Aqua seafoam shame Sunburn with freezeburn Choking on the ashes of her enemy All in all is we all are GALLONS OF RUBBING ALCOHOL
FLOW THROUGH THE STRIP
It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing That you're only supposed to use once and then discard. Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend. My shyness, pet her flow. She's only been five months late, Even though we haven't had sex for a week. A meal a day, a meal, I say. And my heart's made my.... Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis. She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer. She's only five weeks late, And I haven't had a date forever... Ever...ever...forever! Wish I had more...more opportunity, More chances to remember some things So I couldn't have so much pressure on my... On my...on my, um...ah, on my...um...um...head. We'd have so much more diversity, And so much more input, so much more creative flow, If we had someone in school, a (GIT)... GIT...geeks...in...town. Ha!...Come on, Dave, think of one... Girls In Trouble It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels No, GWC Fuck, man, this is a waste of time! (laughs) One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh! You're personally responsible for... The entire strip...to be washed away... Cleansed...as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol Flowed through the strip and were set on fire. It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight. And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom, And his...silk... And he...he erected a beautiful city... A city of stars.
