Binky the Doormat lyrics

This is horror movie stuff.

The muffin is peach, you're 'makin' love'.

You mean this opera involves handcuffs?

I lay defeated.

Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.

She's a girl and she's loving me.

But distance is my tendency.

I am defeated.

Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)

I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)

I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away)

If I'm your oyster, where's the war?

You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.

I know you can't find a fork.

I am just a little acorn.

Well, acorns grow to mighty trees.

You've got sauce, but you don't have knees.

Now look who's asking pretty please.

I lay defeated.

Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)

I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)

I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away)

Call your bathroom friends around.

I will fake a little frown.

I will be your little clown,

Easily defeated.

Yeah, shut the door and open wide.

Seconal and astroglide.

Fuck with me and traumatize.

Don't you see i love your hide?

All the beauty that's trapped inside.

Can't you see i love your hide?

Can't you see i love your hide?

Can't you see it?

Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)

I wore my doormat face. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

I hung my this or that. (go away, go away, go away, go away)

I laid my welcome mat. (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

Go away, go away, go away, go away,

Go away, go away
