Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey boy, take a look at me

Let me dirty up your mind

I'll strip away your hard veneer

And see what I can find

[Chorus]

The queerest of the queer

The strangest of the strange

The coldest of the cool

The lamest of the lame

The numbest of the dumb

I hate to see you here

You choke behind a smile

A fake behind the fear

The queerest of the queer

[Verse 2]

This is what he pays me for

I'll show you how it's done

You'll learn to love the pain you feel

Like father like son

[Chorus]

The queerest of the queer

Hide inside your head

The blindest of the blind

The deadest of the dead

You're hungry 'cause you starve

While holding back the tears

Choking on your smile

A fake behind the fear

The queerest of the queer

[Bridge]

I know what's good for you (You can touch me if you want)

I know you're dying to (You can touch me if you want)

I know what's good for you (You can touch me if you want)

But you can't stop

[Chorus]

The queerest of the queer

The strangest of the strange

The coldest of the cool

The lamest of the lame

The numbest of the dumb

I hate to see you here

You choke behind a smile

A fake behind the fear

[Chorus]

The queerest of the queer

The strangest of the strange

The coldest of the cool

You're nothing special here

A fake behind the fear

The queerest of the queer

[Outro]

I know what's good for you

I know you're dying to

I know what's good for you

I bet you're dying to

[Outro]

You can touch me if you want

You can touch me if you want

You can touch me

You can touch me

But you can't stop
