Lyrics:
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak.
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit treap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
(use Fill A instead of the end of rhy.fig. 1)
w/rhy.fig. 2
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint.
Forever in debt for your priceless advice.
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint.
Forever in debt for your priceless advice.
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint.
Forever in debt for your priceless advice.
your advice (w/Fill B)
w/rhy.fig.1
Meat eating orchids forgive no one just jet
Cut myself on angels 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
(use Fill A instead of the end of rhy.fig. 1)

Forever in debt for your priceless advice.

Forever in debt for your priceless advice.
