From the recording Rotten

Lyrics

ROTTEN

I’m trying
I’m trying
Now I’m trying to raise, raise the dead

Say you don’t wanna know her better
Say you’re not gonna go and get her
Say you don’t wanna breathe in her scent
I don’t wanna believe your intent
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh
But she’s rotten

Say you won’t go and dig in her garden
Trouble’s growing big that you’re startin’
Now I’m trying to raise, raise the dead
Rewind to the day, the day we met
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh
But she’s rotten

You sailed and you’re lookin’
For another lake to lurk in
She made you get your hook in
Now she’s scaled and you’re cookin’

You say she’s clearly just a friend
So hard to hear at 3 A.M.
Your knife keeps rip, rip, ripping in
Your lie still dripping off your chin
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh
Such an ugly mess
I was giving you my best
Such a lovely catch
Thinking that she’s fresh, but she’s rotten
