lyrics

TAKE IT OUT

Oh, the stench outside could kill you. Like a whorehouse at high tide.
Oh, these broken angels touch-up a cracked cup of gin and limes.
I dig in and strap on the feed bag and I live this piss-poor gloom.
Mariachis, down the street some, might as well be in this room.

Whatever it was that I promised I’d never do...I’m so sorry.
I hate to prove all your words to be true,
but I didn’t mean to take it out on you. I didn’t mean to take it out on you.
I didn’t mean to take it out on you. I didn’t mean to take it out on you.

All our words of romance written. I was happy just to be your slave.
Every urge was seized and tried out in the sweet dirt of shallow graves.

I’d do anything, almost anything, just about anything to get you to shut your mouth.
I’d do anything, almost anything, just about anything to get you to shut your mouth.

I never saw the light above me. I never dreamed you wouldn’t stay.
But you’re the real stuff, daddy’s little princess, worshiping your pagan ways.

Whatever it was that I promised I’d never do...I’m so sorry.
I hate to prove all your words to be true,
but I didn’t mean to take it out on you.
I didn’t mean to take it out on you.
I didn’t mean to take it out on you. I didn’t mean to take it out on you.
