Lyrics
Twist, you're holy opposition twist
The twisted parts and pieces, this
I guess you'd better think it God
You knew that, easy as it was.
Come on, give me somethin' special
Somethin' I need
Drain the circle
Lay low, and never prove your power
Say so, so I can hear your words
Peel the skin away from my eyes
And look in.
See all the things that you put away
But you are inside.
Listen to me,
Cuz I can hardly exist
Without your little pussy
Give me holy water
I know that you will let me know.
Aah, Ah-oh-aah, Ah-oh-Aah, Ah-oh...Aah.
