Motormouth 04:15
I miss your soft motormouth and all the sweet dreams you paid me with They threw rocks at me while you held a camcorder to your eye and you laughed and sang a spiritual in enormous gospel voice you never knew you had...until the moment came to tell you it was time And the shitspeaking comes, fresh turds on my tongue I was young, but I knew better Better not try to pull a slow one over your eyes.......the conversation lies in muted death as the space engulfed our breath between us No one, no one's ever gonna know Then we kissed hard, but it was much too hard I couldn't stop thinking about your overbite and how it might push through my gums, take over my lungs...there's no way I could cry for help while you were chewing me so I agreed to run away, with you anyway even your husband said we made such a great couple couple of bite marks here and there but no worry no scare I'm afraid we just might get away with it but no one, no one's ever gonna know no one, no one's ever gonna know no one, no one's ever gonna know

Spider Mama 03:56
You're sweet because you're dumb don't know what's going on you're special, that's the word they use you stumble on your tongue You're dumb because you're nice you took the wrong advice while others claw and fight, you pretend, you pretend that you're that kind of man I don't know much, but I've been thinking why can't it happen, what I've been dreaming? I feel stupid just for asking but it seems everytime I really try I just can't make it happen Will you help me to be good enough for you? the Spider Mama eats her children she just wants something more fulfilling you pretend that you're that kind of man Oh well.
