“Incurably Innocent” Lyrics:
Pray that your family
never forgets
the arousal from a corpse
that fuels your taste
blonde to the shoulders
blind to the pill
He found solace in the act of infection
a blank tape
that couldn’t remember
but you can never erase the hurt
out in the dial toned distance
someone heardHe keeps a hiding your photograph
Of the moment that you needed to
Emasculate his
Photograph
Locked up in the trance
Of a memory
Photograph
Of the moment that you needed to
Emasculate his
Photograph
But you locked up in the trance
Of a memory
Marching to the coffins
On franklin avenuepreyed on the anguish
you better run
always dragging a finger
across his throat
mannix the fixer
to sage the ghosts
and the faith that awarded
his every move
blank tape
that couldn’t remember
but you can never erase the hurt
out in the dial toned distance
someone heardHe keeps a hiding your photograph
Of the moment that you needed to
Emasculate his
Photograph
Locked up in the trance
Of a memory
Photograph
Of the moment that you needed to
Emasculate his
Photograph
But you locked up in the trance
Of a memory
Marching to the coffins
On franklin avenuejust float the needles
when the rum fits a tremor at hand
and he can’t seem to find
his direction homeIn a closet she hid
in eternities sleep
with the fear of God at the end of his whip
