Lyrics

The night before we had discussed it extensively over the phone
That was where me and Melanie kept our relationship safe
Revelations took place during commercial breaks
And we'd say we were running away and settling
In the theater where they shot David Letterman
Our only hope for some understanding
He'd take care of us, fuck parents
That was the plan
But the marriage itself, it was hurried and casual
I don't know where she came up with the ritual
After the bell and before second period
Out in the hall, she gave me a petal
We swallowed two pieces of flowers together
And then we were married
Until, she said, one of us lied to the other
That meant that the petals inside us were dead
Were dead, were dead, were dead, were dead
Were dead, were dead, were dead, were dead
I got married
I got scared to death
I got sick from all the petals that I've eaten
Say yes to me
Take this man that's incest
You're all that wanted destiny
Say I do and make me believe it
I got married
I got scared to death
I got sick from all the petals that I've eaten
Say yes to me
Take this man that's incest
You're all that wanted destiny
Say I do and make me believe it
Ten months of marriage and no consummation
Right there for the taking
The scared seventh grader could not kiss her
Just the thought of first base and surprise
I'm M.I.A. from the stadium
Crambook and greenside
An open drainage pipe beckoning inside
Quiet and charred, we're waiting
I pussied out nervous
Alone above ground in the place where the sewers resurfaced
I walked, afraid of the dark
Afraid I'd stay pushing away what I wanted
But clearly more fearful of acting, of getting it
Behind the library we sat together
And she liked the veins in my wrist, she touched them
Her first boyfriend, Lil, before his expulsion
Brought her here for what she called mouth rape
So I never tried it inside her afraid
I saw her a year ago, might have been more
She was working with Janda, a Cockeysville florist
Said nothing, of course, tongue sore from the biting
Well aware of the corpse of those petals inside me
I got married
I got scared to death
I got sick from all the petals that I've eaten
Say yes to me
Take this man that's incest
You're all that wanted destiny
Say I do and make me believe it
I got married
I got scared to death
I got sick from all the petals that I've eaten
Say yes to me
Take this man that's incest
You're all that wanted destiny
Say I do and make me believe it
