lyrics

Envision, and I think you can, two forces that are opposed to each other
We’ll call one a whore and one a horse
Two points on a line, in line with each other
The whore moves in circles, she moves around
The horse is stable like a good mother

i’d like to put them in a room, a blank sparse room with each other
What do they do?
Do they interact? It’s a social experiment like none other
They’d claw at the walls and tear out their eyes
No matter what they won’t avoid each other
When they get out the jokes they’ll tell, they’ll be so harsh they’ll make you shudder
They’ll be so hard, laughing and crying, maybe they’ll kill each out

When the Greek came in, he was twisted and pissed
He had the look of one dead sober
He’s the point, he’s the axis, he’s the fulcrum they rest under
A triangular dome, much like a dome
An eggshell’s a dome
Is an omelette a blunder?

We’re so cruel because of our mothers

The Miss played local small clubs and art galleries till autumn 2002. ... more
