"Maggot" lyrics

"Maggot"

I made my bed in flowers
Grew basil in my hair
I must have walked for hours
Halfway to who knows where
God knows I'm only human
I get so inhumane
So I take my lithium
I feel like Kurt Cobain

What if I'm nothing but a cardiac-arresting sweetheart
A half run-over cat left in the street
And you're the maggot craving
Rotten flesh left outside in the heat

I don't need support 'cause I've got
My underwire bra
You're into rigor mortis
Ain't that against the law?

Unless you tell them I'm your cardiac-arresting sweetheart
Half run-over cat left in the street
You're just a maggot craving
Rotten flesh left outside in the heat

What's your best secret? You can trust me
You're hanging beside me on the same tight clothesline
Here's my best secret: I keep hoping I'm not
Dirty laundry 'til my tears all soak in

What's your best secret? You can trust me
You're hanging beside me on the same tight clothesline
Here's my best secret: I keep hoping that I'm not
Dirty laundry 'til my tears all soak in
Tears all soak in

What's your best secret? You can trust me
