lyrics

she walked into the dark, damp room,
ruin on her face.
her legs were wrapped in netting
and her arms were wrapped in lace.

she took a heavy step to the light,
fierceness in her eyes.
scowling ‘round the room at us
like the maggots and the flies.

she stood 6 foot 2 with a weighty stance.
her fat spilled through her shirt.
she seemed much larger standing there
as her feet would shake the dirt

she held our gaze and looked around
pouting her ruby red lips.
and suddenly started to sing a song
that sounded like deaths true kiss.

aoo aoo aoo

gathering our spray paint cans
and masks for our disguise
she approved the ruckus all around
screaming, "you don't ever fucking apologize".

the gun parade will come one day
a call to arms to fight
and when it finally approaches us
we'll have no masks for our disguise.

but as we marched out on that day,
leaving our shelter behind,
we felt the powers of our mass
with her song stuck in our minds.

aoo aoo aoo
