"Seventeen" lyrics

"Seventeen"

Savory, I don't like sweet
Bringing me right to my knees
Shivering, no time for sleep
Gotta wipe away the grease
Pretty thing, you'll be complete
When we cut away the teeth
Stumbling on perfect feet
Turn me into seventeen

Reach in the socket and
Feel for the caustic
I'll show you, you want to
You asked if I had a light

Leave the mirror open
Paper bag over the head
Heavy skin and shallow breath
Isn't she something special?
Isn't she something special?

Cavalry, the ground it meets
Shaking underneath my feet
Look at me, so incomplete
Turn me into seventeen

Reach in the socket and
Feel for the caustic
I'll show you, you want to
You asked if I had a light

Leave the mirror open
Paper bag over the head
Heavy skin and shallow breath
Isn't she something special?
Isn't she something special?

The glow, we're close
Enough to see
Below, look close
Above, a gown
The rose scared me
To death, I know
I know, the bit
The hole, I quit
The glow, we're close
Enough to see
Below, below

Leave the mirror open
Paper bag over the head
Heavy skin and shallow breath
Isn't she something special?
Isn't she something special?
