17 Lyrics

Take everything away
This gnarled, weird face
This ripe, swollen, shape,
I want blank
I want frozen lake
I want deep space

Tuck the whole thing
In the body of a violin
String it up on a fence
Cover it with semen,
I am done, I am done with it

Don't sing me that song
It will only prolong
It

"Don't sing me that song it will only prolong it"

If you're going to insult someone at least be MAN enough to spell the word correctly. Only the teenage girls you fuck cannot spell, asshole.

These are the lyrics on the record's inner sleeve:

The meaning is pretty obvious. Beautiful song.
