In Utero Lyrics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SERVE THE SERVANTS Teenage angst has paid off well Now I'm bored and old Self-appointed judges judge More than they have sold If she floats than she is not A witch like we had thought A down payment on another One at Salem's lot Serve the servants, oh no [3X] The legendary divorce is such a bore As my bones grew they did hurt They hurt really bad I tried hard to have a father But instead I had a Dad I just want you to know that I Don't hate you anymore There is nothing I could say That I haven't thought before -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCENTLESS APPRENTICE Like most babies smell like butter His smell smelled like no other He was born scentless and senseless He was born a scentless apprentice Go away, get away, get away, get away Every wet nurse refused to feed him Electrolytes smell like semen I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets There are countless formulas for pressing flowers I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume You can't fire me because I quit Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEART-SHAPED BOX She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black Hey, wait, I got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice [repeat 2X] Your advice Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath Broken hymen of your highness, I'm left black Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RAPE ME Rape me Rape me, my friend Rape me Rape me again I'm not the only one [4X] Hate me Do it and do it again Waste me Rape me, my friend I'm not the only one [4X] My favorite inside source I kiss your open sores Appreciate your concern You'll always stink and burn Rape me (rape me) [8X] Rape me -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRANCES FARMER WILL HAVE HER REVENG ON SEATTLE It's so relieving to know that you're leaving As soon as you get paid It's so relaxing to hear that you're asking Wherever you get your way It's so soothing to know that you'll sue me This is starting to sound the same I miss the comfort in being sad In her false witness, we hope you're still with us, To see if they float or drown Our favorite patient, a display of patience, Disease-covered Puget Sound She'll come back as fire to burn all the liars A blanket of ash on the ground I miss the comfort in being sad -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DUMB I'm not like them, but I can pretend The sun is gone, but I have a light The day is done, but I'm having fun I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy Think I'm just happy My heart is broke, but I have some glue Help me inhale and mend it with you We'll float around and hang out on clouds Then we'll come down and have a hangover Have a hangover Skin the sun, fall asleep Wish away, soul is cheap Lesson learned, wish me luck Soothe the burn, wake me up I think I'm dumb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERY APE I am buried up to my neck in Contradictionary flies I take pride as the king of illiterature I'm very ape and very nice If you ever need anything please don't Hesitate to ask someone else first I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive I've seen it all, I was here first Out of the ground, into the sky Out of the sky, into the dirt [repeat second verse] Out of the ground, into the sky Out of the sky, into the ground Out of the ground, into the sky Out of the sky, into the dirt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MILK IT I am my own parasite I don't need a host to live We feed off of each other We can share our endorphins Doll steak, test meat Look on the bright side is suicide Lost eyesight, I'm on your side Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing Lack of iron and/or sleeping I own my own pet virus I get to pet and name her Her milk is my shit My shit is her milk Test meat, doll steak [repeat chorus] Doll steak, test meat Look on the bright side of suicide Lost eyesight, I'm on your side Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing Lack of iron and/or sleeping Protector of the kennel Ecto-plasma, ecto-skeletal Obituary birthday Your scent is still here in my place of recovery -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PENNYROYAL TEA I'm on my time with everyone I have very bad posture Sit and drink pennyroyal tea Distill the life that's inside of me Sit and drink pennyroyal tea I'm anemic royalty Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld So I can sigh eternally I'm so tired I can't sleep I'm a liar and a thief Sit and drink pennyroyal tea I'm anemic royalty I'm on warm milk and laxatives Cherry flavored antacids -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RADIO FREINDLY UNIT SHIFTER [spoken] What's your name? Do you like me? [end spoken] Use just once and destroy Invasion of our piracy Afterbirth of a nation Starve without your skeleton key I love you for what I am not I do not want what I have got A blanket acne'd with cigarette burns Speak at once while taking turns Second-rate third-degree burns What is wrong with me What is what I need What do I think I think This had nothing to do with what you think If you ever think at all Bi-polar opposites attract All of a sudden my water broke Hate, hate your enemies Save, save your friends Find, find your place Speak, speak the truth -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tourette's Moderate Rock [best guesses:] May day, every day, my day Could've had a heart attack, my heart We don't know anything, my heart. We all want something fair, my heart. Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Out of town, out of sight, is my heart. Queen of lies, today, my heart One more on the phone, my heart One more at the door of my heart. Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyyyyyy! Me hot, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALL APOLOGIES What else should I be? All apologies What else should I say? Everyone is gay What else should I write? I don't have the right What else should I be? All apologies In the sun, in the sun I feel as one In the sun, in the sun I'm married Buried I wish I was like you, easily amused Find my nest of salt, everything's my fault I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame Sunburn with freezerburn, choking on the ashes of her enemy In the sun, in the sun I feel as one In the sun, in the sun I'm married Buried Married Buried All in all is all we are -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GALLONS OF RUBBING ALCOHOL FLOW THROUGH THE STRIP It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing That you're only supposed to use once and then discard Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend My shyness, pet her flow She's only been five months late Even though we haven't had sex for a week A meal a day, a meal, I say. And my heart's made my... Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer She's only five weeks late, And I haven't had a date forever... ever...ever...forever! Wish I had more...more opportunity More chances to remember some things So I couldn't have so much pressure on my... On my...on my, um...ah, on my...um...um...head. [solo] We'd have so much more diversity And so much more input, so much more creative flow If we had someone in school, a git GIT...geeks...in...town. Ha!...Come on, Dave, think of one... It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels No, GWC Fuck, man, this is a waste of time! [laughter] One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh! [solo] You're personally responsible for... The entire strip...to be washed away.... Cleansed...as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol Flowed through the strip and were set on fire It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom And his...silk... And he...he erected a beautiful city... A city of stars [solo]
