Turpentine Lyrics

Devil come down, can't look you in the eye
Where you gonna go with no place to die
My water breaks like turpentine
While I sit pretty like a sacrifice

Now you get watch
You get to watch
Now you get to watch me die

Bless my body and bless my soul
Wrap it in turpentine

I see you standing
Whatever for?
All abandoned like an old whore
Who really knows where the ruby lies
I see all the sick reflections in your ruby eyes

And I know all you devils by your Christian names
And I know all you bitches by your Christian names

Now I get to watch
Now I get to watch
Now I get to watch you die

Bless my body and bless my soul
Wrap it in turpentine
Acrid syphilic coteries
Put your head up over your legs
Count backwards from infinity
Oh, oh, woah

Eat the rose and the dirt it grows in
And you don't even know what hole that's supposed to go in
Now you're mad and you're slapping me
It stinks up here in the junkie tree

Now you get to watch
You get to watch
You get to watch me die

Bless my body and bless my soul
Wrap it in turpentine
Acrid syphilic coteries
Put your legs up over your head

I better walk into your suicide
See it, hold him down to his side

I cease to exist on the Christmas list
I cease to exist in the old disease

I lie right down baby give it to me
I lie right down

...nowhere walking backwards
Going nowhere walking backwards
Going nowhere backwards going

love this song.

i don't know what it's about,

but i do know that at the end,

the lyrics -as best as i can tell- actually go:

"nowhere going backwards walking nowhere going backwards walking..."

which is actually kind of clever/ironic?
