"Sanitized" lyrics

"Sanitized"

I wet the washcloth
To rub off the dirt on my feet
God forbid I should ruin your nice white sheets
God forbid

I take my clothes off
But leave a layer underneath
As if I would ever let you see me as
God intended

I lie perfectly still so I don't mess up my hair
I'm a sanitized girl, I clean up for you my dear
And these pure, pretty thrills grow stillborn in the air
It's a sanitized world
How could anything grow here?

I wash my mouth out
I'm bad and I have no excuse
Tell me can you taste the residue
Tell me can you

I should be clean now
In the car on the way to your house
Scrubbed my skin beyond the shadow of a doubt
Still, the doubt

I lie perfectly still so I don't mess up my hair
I'm a sanitized girl, I clean up for you my dear
And these pure, pretty thrills grow stillborn in the air
It's a sanitized world
How could anything grow here?

Perhaps I misunderstood love, oh I've
Thrown out our baby in the bathtub water
There goes our daughter
There goes our daughter
