Lyrics

[Hedwig's Lament] I was born on the other side Of a town ripped in two And no matter how hard I tried I'd end up black and blue I rose from off of the doctor's slab I lost a piece of my heart Now everyone gets to take a stab They cut me up into parts I gave a piece to my mother I gave a piece to my man I gave a piece to the rock star He took the good stuff and ran [Exquisite Corpse] Oh God, I'm all sewn up A hardened razor-cut Scar-map across my body And you can trace the lines Through misery's design That map across my body A collage I'm all sеwn up A montage I'm all sewn up A random pattern with a needlе and thread The overlapping way diseases are spread To a tornado body With a hand grenade head And the legs are two lovers entwined Inside I'm hollowed out Outside's a paper shroud And all the rest's illusion That there's a will and soul That we can wrest control From chaos and confusion A collage I'm all sewn up A montage I'm all sewn up The automatist's undoing The whole world starts unscrewing As time collapses and space warps You see decay and ruin I tell you, "No, no, no, no You make such an exquisite corpse" I got it all sewn up A hardened razor cut scab up across my body And you can trace the lines through misery's design That map across my body A collage I'm all sewn up A montage I'm all sewn up
