    Lyrics

    She didn’t wanna be, she didn’t wanna know

    She couldn’t run away cause she was crazy

    She gave it all away, she saw her baby break

    And in the air it hung that she was dull razors

    And I said, I wanna fill you up, I wanna break you, I wanna give you up

    From one another, another one should come to one another

    No one should come between us

    Still I was lonely, and she was by my side, my one and only

    Knows that she could never hide

    I couldn’t feel her, and it was just a game,

    Cause I was lonely and she was crazy

    Rat-tat-tat, ka boom boom, now take that, and just a bit of this

    Cause I’m a watcher, and I’m a doer of none

    Come to save you, cause you’re all mine

    I hurt where I can’t feel, I feel where I can’t hurt

    I know where I can’t know, I bleed for me and mine

    Ka-boom, a rat-tat-tat, and some good ole bliss

    Cause I’m a sister, and I’m a motherfuck

    I am made of shamrocks, I am made of stern stuff

    I am never enough, I am the forgotten child

    And I said I wanna fill you up, I wanna break you, I wanna give you up

    From one another, no one should ever come

    In between us, between us and our love

    Mary had a little lamb, her face was white as snow

    And everywhere that mary went I was sure to go

    Now mary’s got a problem, and mary’s not a stupid girl

    Mary’s got some deep shit, and mary does not forget

    And this is how mary’s garden grows, and this is how mary has her ghosts

    And into the eyes of the jackyl I say ka-boom

    Now we begin descent, to where we’ve never been

    There is no going back, this wasn’t meant to last

    This is a hell on earth, we are meant to serve

    And she will never learn

    Bye bye, baby goodbye
