“[The song] is about human taxidermy, the idea of preserving the beauty of a lover the way you would an animal”.[Verse 1: Alice Glass]
~#**************#~
How do I feel for thee?
~#**************#~
Your smile brings disease
~#**************#~
‘Cause were young, fell in from the stars
~#**************#~
When your skin is shed
~#**************#~
Find a pile of your head, now then
~#**************#~
Ill look so smart!
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Alice Glass]
~#**************#~
Stove burn (On my hands!)
~#**************#~
Show them (To my friends!)
~#**************#~
Make you participate
~#**************#~
Eyes roll (Back around!)
~#**************#~
Limbs fall (To the ground!)
~#**************#~
Seasoned to procreate!
~#**************#~
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Alice Glass]
~#**************#~
The first to interfere
~#**************#~
Are culled before the deer
~#**************#~
When they wander into the cage
~#**************#~
Stuff their arms and thighs
~#**************#~
Then they roll their cardboard eyes, their skin
~#**************#~
Will never age!
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Alice Glass]
~#**************#~
Stove burn (On my hands!)
~#**************#~
Show them (To my friends!)
~#**************#~
Make you participate
~#**************#~
Eyes roll (Back around!)
~#**************#~
Limbs fall (To the ground!)
~#**************#~
Seasoned to procreate!
