Lyrics

[Verse 1] This is horror movie stuff The muffin is peach, you're 'making love' You mean this opera involves handcuffs? I lay defeated Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet She's a girl, and she's loving me But distance is my tendency I am defeated [Chorus] Have you lost your place? (Go away, go away) I wore my doormat face (Go away, go away) (Go away, go, go, go) I hung my this or that (Go away, go away) (Go away, go away) I laid my welcome mat (Go away, go away) [Verse 2] If I'm your oyster, where's the war? You leave me gasping, tattered and torn Oh, I know you can't find a fork I am just a little acorn Well, acorns grow to mighty trees You've got sauce, but you don't have knees Now look who's asking pretty please I lay defeated [Chorus] Have you lost your place? (Go away, go away) I wore my doormat face (Go away, go away) (Go away, go, go, go) I hung my this or that (Go away, go away) (Go away, go away) I laid my welcome mat (Go away, go away) Wow! [Verse 3] Call your bathroom friends around I will fake a little frown I will be your little clown Easily defeated Yeah, shut the door and open wide Seconal and astroglide Fuck with me and traumatize Don't you see I love your hide? All the beauty that's trapped inside Can't you see I love your hide? Can't you see I love your hide? Can't you see it? [Chorus] Have you lost your place? (Go away, go away) I wore my doormat face (Go away, go away) (Go away, go, go, go) I hung my this or that (Go away, go away) (Go away, go away) I laid my welcome mat (Go away, go away) (Go away, go, go, go) I hung my this or that (Go away, go away) (Go away, go away) I laid my welcome mat (Go away, go away) (Go away, go, go, go) Go away, go away (Go away, go away) Go away, go away (Go away, go away) Go away, go away (Go away, go away)
