Priscilla Lyrics

She likes it hot, she likes it humid
She likes my cake, and she's not stupid
She likes my sugar, she likes my bread
I'm ready to attack
She comes at night, when I'm asleep
Without a sound, just like a thief
She comes to crawl, under my bed
I'm ready to attack
Priscilla oh Priscilla
You last resistant chiller
Priscilla oh Priscilla
Tonight I'm going to kill ya
She lives in my kitchen
Down in the shade
She likes leftovers
And throwaways
I'm on a diet
And she is fat
I'm ready to attack
Priscilla oh Priscilla
You last resistant chiller
Priscilla oh Priscilla
Tonight I'm going to kill ya
I can't do it I can't do it at all
She turns a man into killer
This cockroach named Priscilla
This cockroach named Priscilla
You're gonna be here
You're gonna be there
You're gonna be everywhere
I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you
You're gonna be now
You're gonna be then
You're gonna be out and in
I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you
You're gonna be saint
You're gonna be sin
You're gonna lose and win
I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you
Priscilla oh Priscilla
Tonight I'm going to kill ya

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song surprised me the first time I listened to it because it sounds like violence toward a woman and that just isn't Scorpions style. BUT as I continued to listen, the only violence is to a cockroach that is resistant to being killed. It is a fun song with no hidden meaning, one just has to wait toward the end to find out Priscilla is a cockroach.

This sounds like it is about a guy with a passive-aggressive resentment towards his fat girlfriend he lives with.
