Lyrics for I'm Clean
The temptation Has always been, has always been What lies behind the ice The hot-blooded tramp inside your mind Wear white gloves, but I'm no saint Thought I was Grace Kelly, but just you wait Yeah, I'm that bitch, your white witch Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na Clean, clear, and cold, through and through All these disgusting things you do, you do, you do But not me (Not me) I'm clean (I'm clean) Please act upon me No agency or complexity Not a single feelin' inside of me Tempted you with Turkish delight Just to make you see the death inside Ice so cold, a mirror it makes Forced to see yourself inside these stakes Clean, clear, and cold, through and through All these disgusting things you do, you do, you do But not me (Not me) I'm clean (I'm clean) Blank slate, just begging A face without ambiguity Not a single mark that mars me The bashful smile that begged, "Please no" The hands that still wanted to know There was never a fire, never desire I killed myself to make you see your own perversity 'Cause I'm clean (I'm clean) You're free (You're free) Please act upon me No agency or complexity Not a single feelin' inside of me 'Cause I'm clean (I'm clean) You're free (You're free) Blank slate, just begging A face without ambiguity Not a single mark that mars me
