Lyrics for Sometimes I Wish I Was a Pretty Girl

Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl So I could wreck myself in the shower Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl So I could wreck myself in the shower Been on my own so long I can't tell left from wrong Bloody red bats squelching offal Foaming mutilations in the kiss of death Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl So I could wreck myself in the shower Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl So I could wreck myself in the shower Been on my own all night I can't tell left from right Baby come back, give me fever Cauterize this passion with a blood red kiss Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl So I could wreck myself in the shower Sometimes I wish I was a pretty girl So I could stab myself in the shower Sometimes I wish I was a So I could
