lyrics

You wash your hands of
All this filthy shit, but
You still go to bed
With a dirty conscience
I wanna know what
You hide in your room
Beneath your twin bed
Is it something good?
Do you feel embarrassed?
Do you feel that guilt?
Is there something real nasty building it’s home under there?

I wanna know what
You think when I’m gone
Do you think about all the foul things that turn you on?
Are you feeling normal?
Do you feel okay?
Do you think that everybody in this room feels the same way?
You wash your hands of
All this filthy shit, but
You still go to bed with a dirty conscience

You say “daddy, don’t walk so damn fast”
I hate your guts, so don’t get so mad
You dance just like a honky tonk cat
I wanna see you lay on your back

You hide all the dark
Inside of your head
Behind a brick wall of happiness
You act so tough, but
You like it rough, but
You can’t feel a thing
Unless it’s frightening
You want it harder
You’re screaming louder
You’re moving faster
But you can’t make it end

You say “daddy, don’t walk so damn fast”
I hate your guts, so don’t get so mad
You dance just like a honky tonk cat
I wanna see you lay on your back
