Missouri Surf Club – Rotten Lyrics
Artist: Missouri Surf Club
Song: Rotten
Tell him careful walking up the stairs, those floorboards might not hold
You can blame it on the weather, but your heart is frozen cold
Tell him your mouth’s covered in cobwebs
They’re stretching across your teeth
But he won’t seem to mind kissing you anyway
And he’ll pull you straight from the coffin
Same flower eyes, two graveside shots of whiskey
And he’ll see that your bones are rotten
When he’s inside you, how much skeleton can he see?
So when you gonna tell him?
That nothing grows in corpses
There’s nothing hе or anyone can do
When you gonna tell him?
Your skin can’t hidе black insides
Oh there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left of you
And you’re gone
And your bones are bleached by the sun
And you’re no good
When you gonna tell him, baby?
When you gonna tell him, baby?
Tell him careful waiting up for you
Cause you don’t plan to stay
Good wives don’t speak their troubles
So just drink your wine and pray
Tell him tainted isn’t pretty and
Perfection ate you whole
Your pride like water in your lungs
Drowns all the words it stole
Clean hearts can’t be built on devotion
Silver thread won’t make them new and never torn, no
Dead veins keep on singing to open
But all he feels is that they’re gonna keep his skin real warm
So when you gonna tell him?
Angels don’t fall easy
There’s nothing he or anyone can do
When you gonna tell him?
Your eyes can’t hide dead insides, oh
There’s nothing left, he’s still got hold of you
And you’re gone
And your bones are bleached by the sun
And you’re no good
When you gonna tell him, baby?
When you gonna tell him, baby?
When he finds out he’ll leave you outside
The birds will pick you clean again
You better pray he leaves you outside
For that little death you hoped for with the sun
No, nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
So when you gonna tell him?
But you don’t need to say it
His lips are cracked and stained red just like yours
When you gonna tell him?
Every kiss you’ve given up
Just kills and makes you die a little more
And you’re gone
And your bones are bleached by the sun
And you’re no good
You’re no good
When you gonna tell him?
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good. Oh
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
The funeral’s tomorrow, and he’ll be waiting
