Lyrics


sex, love, security
yank the blanket out from under me
well, I’ve got a pretty box
with the hinges broken off the top
in my chest there lingered hope
but I chucked it outside
with your books and your clothes
that you’ll find in the street
if you ever come home
if you ever come home again

for the faith that I had, the fury I have, for spite
you can kiss your stereo
and all your pretty clothes goodbye

O, you fool you, Cio Cio San
patience is a sugar lump
in love’s pure swill
get a grip, you stupid girl
what did you drink to make you think —
to make you forsake all others
and you know you know you will

for the faith that I had, the fury I have, for spite
you can kiss me goodbye
kiss your butterfly goodbye

when you’ve seen what I’ve done
you’re gonna cry to your mama
gonna cry to your papa
when you’ve seen what I’ve done
you’re gonna cry like a little bitty girl
nobody’s gonna save ya

chasten up and listen good
I hear Jason’s in the neighborhood
let’s put the screws to him
O, the wrath that woman hath
takes her love a bit too serious
she had a mighty torch
she carried til her hand was scorched

for the faith that I had, the fury I have, for spite
you can kiss your little boys
kiss your little boys goodbye
you can make a lot of noise
and kiss your little boys goodbye
