Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone lyrics

I saw you standing there

Barbed wire in your pocket (Someone's brain popped as)

You were combing barbed wire through your hair

You thought I didn't notice

The skin on your teeth had a tear

To make me notice you started to shout

Then you and all your minions

Started flapping your tiny arms all about

They said you were the wise man

When did they teach wise men to pout?

I tried to forget you

But you tied bells to your name

They jingle everytime I thought of you

Without shame

I tried to be unlovable (I'm trying to be unlovable)

Why couldn't you do the same?

What's the matter?

Did you love need a home?

Alright then

Love me just leave me alone

(Love me just leave me alone)

(You thought all the curiosity...)

Your mother was a wolf bite

Your daddy was a cigarette

Your brother was a rose bud

Cross breath like a car wreck

Your sister was a stockbroker

But you - you ain't nothing but a turtleneck

You were standing there hypnotized

In the middle of the street

You had iron butterflies as kisses

You had gold dust in your teeth

You use one eye as a hostage

The other eye to stab your own meat

But your mind is a circle

But it clings to straight lines

Your arms are like corset strings

They only know how to find

Linens are adorable

Why don't you try it sometime

What's the matter

Did your love need a home?

Alright then

Love me just leave me alone

It's not your little boy smile

It's not your little boy name

It's those big boy hands that are the ones to blame

Well, I'm trying to be unlovable

Why couldn't you do the same?

What's the matter?

Did your love need a home?

ALright then

Love me just leave me alone

What's the matter?

Did your love need a home?

Alright then

Love me just leave me alone

Love me just leave me alone

Love me just leave me alone
