"She Cleans Up" lyrics

"She Cleans Up"

I had a vision that Mary of Magdalene saw the future that awaits us
Just before Good Friday eve
Figured the wages of salvation were a little too steep
Said no one's fucking with my baby
Lord and got armed to the teeth

Cleaning up
Cleaning up
Clean up
She cleans up

What is the one about the female alien
Scarlet drives the Scottish countryside inside of a white van
Oh, I dreamt about it last night
And it did my whole day in
Under the something, man, I'm never gonna touch that shit again

Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up

I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah women may have me confused with him
Oh no, I get just how this thing ends
Hallelujah baby
I know who butters my bread

When was the accident
Well I presume you mean
The condition of the silk kimono that didn't come cheap
Now did you sit down at the crime scene
Just don't look between your knees
Man, it's certainly a look
Did she at least get the movie

Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up

Use your discretion so I don't have to use mine
I spent 100 bucks on gas baby
Let's just have a good time
How do you atone for your son
Now the rabbit's got the gun
She ain't joining you for dinner
Been on the menu too long

Cleaning up
Cleaning up
She cleans up
Cleaning up

I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah guess we gave the karmic wheel a spin
I know just how this thing ends
The aggrieved becomes aggressor
And we do it all again

Take it from a demon
Who can say I've never said
Take it from a demon
That the devil don't protect his friends
Take it from a demon
He'll never work in this town again
Take it from a demon
He'll make sure an angel goes down next

I know just how this thing ends
The misogynists daughter made him rethink what he said
I know just how this thing ends
She is trouble reconciling pops with the things that she read

I know just how this thing ends
100 billion babies born every millennium
I know just how this thing ends
Man, I hope nobody messes with the wrong rejected men

I know just how this thing ends
Sure your politics are perfect with a gun aimed at your head
I know just how this thing ends
It's a good thing God gave us someone on whom we can depend to clean up
