Burn Black Lyrics
Now you complain
You say you want the keys
Over my dead body, baby
That's where they'll be
Forget me not
Just slit your neck
You say you remember
Baby, you forget
Hey hey, this much is true
I never trusted you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Now I burn black for you
And I'm trying just to forget
Never, I won't
Never, I won't
Never, ever, never
Saying things that you can't hear
My dumb mouth to your deaf ear
Gushing up a violent smear
My doll mouth to your deaf ear
Hey, hey, this much is true
I never twisted you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Baby, I burn black for you
No, I won't go down to it
Never, I won't
Ever, I won't
Never, I won't, never
Crawl right up the wall
And up the stairs
And down your hall
Now you beg and you want me
Over my dead body
Baby, that's where I'll be
And you laugh at my disease
While sugar runs from my arteries
Hey, hey, this much is true
I never bothered you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Baby, I burn black for you
And I'm trying just to forget
Never, I won't
Never, I won't
Ever, I won't, never
Starts out like magic
Some sick religion
That ain't no vulture
That's a fucking pigeon
She's got vultures in her hair
And blood and feathers, they are everywhere
You want retreat
Filthy and deep
A dead moon
A drunken sleep
Baby, there, there is a room
Full of death and whores and truth
I am waiting in that room
I am dying waiting for you
It's all hoarse
It's all pain
It's all disease
Man, it's all the same
My little Judas
My little twin
Where you start, that's where I begin
She said, "I want it now," she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now
Now, now, now
You say you want the keys
Over my dead body, baby
That's where they'll be
Forget me not
Just slit your neck
You say you remember
Baby, you forget
I never trusted you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Now I burn black for you
Never, I won't
Never, I won't
Never, ever, never
My dumb mouth to your deaf ear
Gushing up a violent smear
My doll mouth to your deaf ear
I never twisted you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Baby, I burn black for you
Never, I won't
Ever, I won't
Never, I won't, never
And up the stairs
And down your hall
Over my dead body
Baby, that's where I'll be
And you laugh at my disease
While sugar runs from my arteries
I never bothered you
Hey, hey, this much is true
Baby, I burn black for you
Never, I won't
Never, I won't
Ever, I won't, never
Some sick religion
That ain't no vulture
That's a fucking pigeon
She's got vultures in her hair
And blood and feathers, they are everywhere
You want retreat
Filthy and deep
A dead moon
A drunken sleep
Full of death and whores and truth
I am waiting in that room
I am dying waiting for you
It's all pain
It's all disease
Man, it's all the same
My little Judas
My little twin
Where you start, that's where I begin
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now, she said
I want it now
Now, now, now

abirdnamedsloth shut up. Take your conspiracy theories and shove it up your ass. Anyway this song is about a relationship gone sour, and ends with the woman doing some sort of voodoo.
there are other msg boards for this sort of thing you know.
this song basically sums up my last relationship.
it seems to me that its about being in love with someone who hurts you, and the anger you feel because they betrayed you. its about revenge.
this is my favourite hole song. i'm not really sure what its about....i just love the line 'hey hey this much is true, baby i burn black for you'. it always makes me think of obsessive relationships, when you are so in love/obsessed with the other person that you would die for them
I came here for the meaning of this song .. not people who should be put in a stray jacket .. wow
ill try
shell never allow this person to get control .she is still in need of revenge and is warning the person to stay away cause she still wont trust them and still holds hard feelings..No matter what she says the person is now just aiming to please to stick around but she wanted more .someone who actually tried etc..also she says how she could never get to him and now she is ..so i guess she feels a sense of satisfaction now ..i think she lost respect for this person and see them as a dissapointment and pathetic ..it sounds almost like she likes this little sick twisted game ..
someone take stab at it please ? i am curious what this song means..
angeldust_heart - Word. You hit the nail on the head and I do think it's as simple as that.
i love the part where she sings Starts out like magic, some sick religion That ain't no vulture, that's a f***ing pigeon She's got vultures in her hair And blood and feathers they are everywhere You want retreat They'll be deep Dig mine they choke and seep Baby there, there is a room Full of death and whores and truth I am waiting in that room I am dying in that room It's all hoarse, it's all pain It's all disease, man it's all the same My little judaist My little twin Where you start that's where the night begins She said, "I want it now"... ........... its makes me shake its so intense lol
It's about her and Kat Bjelland's (Babes In Toyland) falling out. They were pretty much best friends once a long long time ago, they were like sisters, twins.. ("My little judaist My little twin") Couldn't be more obvious.
i love the song, but completely unrelatedly:
"f***ing pigeon" LOLOLOL only three people get this and we had this whole thing about it before i had even heard this song and hahahahahahah! basically pete doherty is the pigeon. he looks like one. with his chubby cheeks. yeah. :)
I've also always though this was about Courtney's love/hate friendship with Kat Bjelland.
