Exquisite Corpse Lyrics

Oh God
I'm all sewn up
A hardened razor-cut
Scar map across my body
And you can trace the lines
Through Misery's design
That map across my body

A collage
All sewn up
A montage
All sewn up

A random pattern with a needle and thread
The overlapping way diseases are spread
Through a tornado body
With a hand grenade head
And the legs are two lovers entwined

Inside I'm hollowed out
Outside's a paper shroud
And all the rest's illusion
That there's a will and soul
That we can wrest control
From chaos and confusion

A collage
All sewn up
A montage
All sewn up

The automatist's undoing
The whole world starts unscrewing
As time collapses and space warps
You see decay and ruin
I tell you "No, no no no"
You make such an exquisite corpse"

I've got it all sewn up
A hardened razor-cut
Scar map across my body
And you can trace the lines
Through Misery's design
That map across my body

A collage
All sewn up
A montage
All sewn up

Cover art for Exquisite Corpse lyrics by Hedwig and the Angry Inch

if you watch the movie you know what the hell he's singing about. But i guess you can take this two ways... if you are morbid and into self-mutilation you can somewhat get that idea with the first couple lines when he's talking about razor cuts and hiding scars.. but overall its about his sex change operation. watch the movie! its a beautiful queer punkrock love story!
