A Little Less Explicit Than the Original
there’s a casing on the floor for every lie you ever spun
make a case in pointing out they’re all coming undone
shameless is as shameless does, was there a point to prove?
well, i’ve got just what i needed now, so tell me, who used who?
two nights of lovin', lips bitten and sucking
ample reason to leave and proof it ain’t worth nothin’ to you
cause your mouth’s full of tricks; the proverbial ditch
and confirmed suspicions; the shovel with which
i’ll bury your name, and make no use of it,
filthiest word i ever knew
so justify for peace of mind, there’s nothing more for you
to find between the lines i write, you had everything to lose
i’ll lay it out and wear it thin.
red riding hood or wolfish grin?
just save your breath, kid. hold it in
and choke on your own excuse.
