The Killing Kind Lyrics by Filthy Thieving Bastards

A Melody of Retreads and Broken Quills

2001

I've always been impressed by the things that you said
I've been jealous and depressed when I fell out of bed
Can you pick me up at ten?
I'll be standing here left for dead
I'm uncertain if you see me how I wanna be perceived
[?] in your sleeves
And the [?]
[?]
Wake up and smell your roses
They need fertile soil to bloom
Fess up and clear your nose
So nothing complicates the doom
Your mother wasn't kidding
When she told you to clean your room
And your father's spitting mad
'Cause it could never be too soon
To have a new lease on life
And become some fucker's wife
And have a kid or two
He knows that isn't you
I've always been depressed by the heat and the sun
Pale [?] without the summer and fun
Can you lift me up
And stand me where you're coming from?
All the [?] can make it hard [?] your ribs
Take your [?] and call your dibs
'Cause everybody needs a break
And you need to take a trip
Wake up and smell your roses
They need fertile soil to bloom
Fess up and clear your nose
So nothing complicates the doom
Your sister said "I'm not shitting you"
Shape up and change your tune
And you wish you had a brother
That would for once stick up for you
To have a new peace of mind
Instead of putting [?]
That shit's so hard to find
When you're the killing kind
