In Utero - Lyrics

Serve the Servants

back

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 (x4)



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 (x4)



That legendary divorce is such a bore



Serve the servants - Oh no (x7)



That legendary divorce is such a bore








Scentless Apprentice

back

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 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



Go away - get away, get a-way



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



Go away - get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get a-way








Heart-Shaped Box

back

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak

I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week

I've been 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

Hey! Wait! (Might be "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

Your 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



Hey! Wait!

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

Hey! Wait!

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Your advice.



She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak

I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks

I've been 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

Hey! Wait!

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



Your advice (x3)








Rape Me

back

Rape meš

Rape me my friend

Rape meš

Rape me again



I'm not the only one (x4)



Hate me

Do it and do it again.



Waste me

Taste me my friend.



I'm not the only one (x4)



My favorite inside source

I'll kiss your open sores

Appreciate your concern

You'll always stink and burn



Rape meš

Rape me my friend

Rape meš

Rape me again



I'm not the only one (x4)



Rape me! (x9)








Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle

back

It's so relieving

to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid

It's so relaxingš

to hear that you're asking wherever you get your way

It's so soothing

to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same



I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)



In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,

to see if they float or drown

Our favorite patient, 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 (x3)



It's so relieving

to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid

It's so relaxingš

to know that you're asking wherever you get your way

It's so soothing

to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same



I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)








Dumb

back

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 (x3)



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 hangoverš



Have a hangover (x4)



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

Maybe just happy



Think I'm just happy (x3)



I think I'm dumb (x12)








Very Ape

back

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'tš

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



If you ever need anything please don'tš

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



(x2)

Out of the ground

Into the sky

Out of the sky

Into the dirt








Milk It

back

I am my own parasite

I don't need a host to live

We feed off of each other

We can share our endorphins



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



I own my own pet virus

I get to pet and name her

Her milk is my shit

My shit is her milk



Test meat!

Doll steak!



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



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 every birthday

Your scent is still here in my place of recovery!








Pennyroyal Tea

back

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

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

back

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



What is wrong with me (x3)



I'm gonna do with what you think

If you ever think at all

Bi-polar opposites attract

All of a sudden my water broke



I love you for what I am not

I do not want what I have got

A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns

Second-rate third degree burnsš



What is wrong with me (x3)

What do I think of me ?



Hate, hate your enemies

Save, save your friends

Find, find your place

Speak, speak the truth



What is wrong with me (x3)

What do I think of me ?



Use just once and destroy

Invasion of our piracy

Afterbirth of a nation

Starve without your skeleton key



(x2)

What is wrong with me (x3)

What do I think of me ?

back

Moderate Rock!



Mayday every day, in my heart.

Could've had a heart attack, in my heart.

We don't know anything, in my heart.š

We all want something fair, in my heart.š

Hey!š

Hey!š

Heyyyyyyy! (x3)š



Out of town, out of sight, is my heart.š

Queen of lies, everyday, in my heart.

My heart, one more on the phone, my heart.

One more at the phone, at my heart (???)

Hey!š

Hey!š

Heyyyyyyyyyyy! (x2)



Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart

Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart!!



Uhhhhhhh!










All Apologies

back

What else should I be

All apologies

What else could I say

Everyone is gay

What else could I write

I don't have the right

What else should I be

All apologies



In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

I'm married

Buried



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



In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Married, Maried, Maried!

Buried!

Yeah yeah yeah yeahš



All in all is all we are (x20 .. or so)








Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip

back

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 ...

It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels

No, GWC, well ...



{laughs}š

One more solo?šš Yeahhhhhhhhh!š 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...šš

and he...he erected a beautiful city...

a city of stars.
