[Verse 1]
At night your grandmother died
On a bed of chamomile
And the Virgin Mary stuck her head out
From the wall and it scared you

[Chorus]
And you cried by floral bedside
Until the telephone rang in the next room

[Verse 2]
It was six-six-six from a soldier
Who was hysterical on the toilet seat
You could tell he was good looking
Just by the way that he was speaking

[Chorus]
You both sob like little cherries
Being crushed between my fingers

[Verse 3]
And I drop the pits on tile floors
And they echo like a tongueless mouth
Oh I tried to speak, I swear to god
I wish I were your stray dog
[Chorus]
Eating scraps of meat you gave me
Because you saw my ribs and I was dirty
Eating scraps of meat you gave me
Because you saw my ribs and I was dirty
I wish I were your stray dog
Roaming aimlessly around the city
