Lyrics for A Man Inside My Mouth

I woke up at seven, and my body was vibrating I was wrapped up in a blanket I was grey, damp, and sore The bedroom was an engine, and my heartbeat was erratic (Like I think I'm at the racing, like the night before) I remember one girl standing One was sitting on the ground One was holding me up The other pulling me down And I couldn't decide which one was real Because there wasn't a sound (Like I was pregnant again) I woke up at seven, and my body was vibrating I was wrapped up in a blanket I was grey, damp, and sore The bedroom was an engine, and my heartbeat was erratic (Like I think I'm at the racing, like the night before) "Don't move, don't blink, don't think, don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil, and cut you off at the head" So I was sucking, I was sucking like a fat lady would But I couldn't hold it down another second (Bleagh!) "Don't twitch, don't shout, don't think, don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil, and cut you off at the head" So I was sweating, I was sweating like a fat lady would And I woke up With a man, inside my mouth (This won't hurt at all)
