about

lyrics

It's the chill I instill upon myself
and the fever that you fight me with
It's natural disaster of your plaster eyes
and the delicate dirt you live

It's the celebrated liquid
it's limpid and delicious
I's eat seven dishes
if you gave me all your kisses

If you you weren't so vicious
i'd fulfil your secret wishes
The desire inside
is why the outside itches

Just give me half of what you got 'cuz I can't stand the pain anymore

You're gonna have to take it with a melody
or, baby, don't take it at all
It's the virulent deterrent that draws me in
and the aspersions of your withdrawal

When the climate's cold
and the winter sets in
The centigrade is visible
beneath your skin

And the mercury's droppin'
and the mercury's droppin'
and your blood's too thin

If you're gonna shake it shake it off on me
oh, baby, don't shake it off on him
If the fever's risin' high and it's too much to bear
just take off your skin.

Then you'll know how I feel.
