Baby I Got The Death Rattle

We burnt all the skin from the palm of my hands
 With an old Zippo lighter and deodorant can
 I went to the palmist and asked her to read
 No heart line, no sun line, no lifeline, no need
 Said, "All that I wanted was a quiet life
 Not one predetermined by minuscule slices
 Into my flesh", and the broad, she agreed
 One look in my sad eyes, she had to concede
 Baby, the girdle of Venus got me
 Got me down on my knees
 ♪
 And baby, baby, I got the death rattle
 And you're six months old sh-shakin' me
 ♪
 Traced my right index finger 'long the roof of every car
 On the walk back to your house in the cold from City Arms
 In the frost, I drew a dick for every girl that wouldn't fuck me
 Woke early the next morning to see the frost had bitten me
 My blisters black and touch cold, like a cute stuffed toy bear's nose
 The kind of gift I'd give you, like a less committed Van Gogh
 And you, you are an angel, that's why you pray
 And I am an ass, and that's why I bray
 Your halo slipped to frame you like a photo, a porthole window
 I see blood spill in the pure snow, you see sweet sauce on ice-cream cones
 And you, you are an angel, that's why you pray
 And I am an ass, and that's why I bray
 If you were tomorrow, I'd be today
 And this is the end

 (I'm serious, so listen now)
 Baby, I got the death rattle, and baby, I got it bad
 I've been digging my grave for quite some time when I'm not digging up the past
 And I chewed my only necktie from the metal frame of my bed
 Ah-well, I tied your wrists together
 Spent all night givin' (oh, you get the message though)
