[Verse 1]
Forty days and forty nights, I guess
I been slightly morose, I been slightly depressed
An electric fryer in the next room
Killing going down here at high noon

[Chorus]
Now that I've made myself odious
To the greater cross section of our populace

[Verse 2]
I, I, I, I, I saw the clinic, I heard the screaming
Clean out the plumbing, saw the body bags leaving
These emotions of love move deep in my heart
I got a Molotov cocktail and I wait until dark

[Chorus]
Now that I've made myself odious
To the greater cross section of our populace

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, sure, it's your body, that's nakedly plain
But less than nine months ago, it was public domain
I was thinking about the carving knife when I lifted that latch
And those expensive French cosmetics when I lit the match
[Chorus]
Now, now, now, now that I've made myself odious
To the greater cross section of our populace

[Outro]
Well, am I pissing you off
My beloved public?
Am I pissing you off?
Well, let's change the subject
