Just because she feeds me well And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel Doesn't mean she's got eyes for me She might just want my bones, you see Hey, Flathead, don't you get mean She's the second best killer that I have ever seen They don't come much more sick than you I could go on if you want me to It's just so wrong, so very nice I told you once, and you killed me twice I saw you one time at the back of the club Chewing on glass and a ticket stub I heard they kicked the boy till he bled Then stood and said, 'oh my god' till she said 'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.' Everybody knows you're the one to call When the girls get ugly at the back of the wall Josephine says you got a bleeding nose So taking it with her wherever she goes Hey, Flathead, don't check me in Well, hers is a tonic and mine is a gin They don't come much more slick than you I'd drive your car if you asked me to Said the boy's not right in the head So he stood and got a kicking instead till she said 'Bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra.'
