In the privacy of our love There is nothing outside our love In the privacy of our love We're in each other as hand in glove In the privacy of our love There is nothing outside, above If there's nothing outside, above We're in the privacy of our love I've never seen your love again I'll never be your love for sure I've never seen your love again I'll never be your love for sure I've never seen your love again I'll never be your love for sure Except for that day Except for that day Except for that day Except for that day

Love me cancerously Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea High maintenance means You're a gluttonous queen Narcissistic and mean Kill me romantically Fill my soul with vomit Then ask me for a piece of gum Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum You're awful, I love you She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed Must be the sign on my head It says, "Oh, love me dead" Love me dead You're a faith-healer on TV You're an office park without any trees Corporate and cold Gushing for gold Leave me alone You suck so passionately You're a parasitic psycho, filthy creature Finger-bangin' my heart You call me up drunk Does the fun ever start? You're hideous and sexy She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed It must be the sign on my head It says, "Oh, love me dead" Love me dead, oh! Love me cancerously How's your new boy? Does he know about me? You've got the mark of the beast You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful! She moves through moonbeams slowly She knows just how to hold me And when her edges soften Her body is my coffin I know she drains me slowly She wears me down to bones in bed What about the sign on my head? It says, "Oh, love me dead" Love me dead Love me dead Love me dead Oh, love me dead

I'll tell it like it happened, it was Darius and Noland and me Just a few po' boys trying to get up outta Missouri Took 55 to Louisiana, stopped by the highway to eat They both had crawfish, strictly chicken for me Back out under thunderheads, the radio was Southern soul They interrupted Clarence Carter with a strange-ass local show They were sayin': "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain Rest your soul and feed your brain That's where you will get to see everything the water can be" The rain was comin' down, the wind was howlin' outside of Slidell It was the kinda night that makes you think the whole world's goin' to hell We got off on an exit 'cause we couldn't read the map so great Near the Choctaw Motel, we parked to deliberate When out of the bayou came a man like the lake had a tongue He was right up on the glass, all yellow-eyed, black teeth, bangin' on the windshield Screamin' like a demon at the top of his lungs: "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain Rest your soul and feed your brain Free for you and all your friends, crawfish 'til the bitter end Come down to Lake Pontchartrain Wade to where the shallows break That's where you will get to see everything the water can be" I was driving out of there as fast as a Camry could But the interstate was flooded and I had to take the road through the woods Bad move in retrospect, the road disappeared in the rain And I stood on the brakes when I saw the sign: "Lake Pontchartrain..." Darius was yelling that he saw somebody out in the swells He jumped out runnin' and Noland was goin' as well "Come back!" Why the hell would they leave the car? And that's when I heard it, make no mistake - The voices were calling them from under the lake: "Come down to Lake Pontchartrain... Come down to Lake Pontchartrain... Come down to Lake Pontchartrain... Come down to Lake Pontchartrain..." The crawfish were screaming, the waves danced in time My friends went in deeper, the water, it climbed I watched in terror, the lake opened wide And horribly roaring, it pulled them inside That's how it happened, why would I lie? There were no bodies, I've got none to hide I'm just a boy, lost his friends in the rain Any more questions, just go and ask Lake Pontchartrain
