  • Hey boy, take a look at me
    Let me dirty up your mind
    I'll strip away your hard veneer
    And see what I can find

    The queerest of the queer
    The strangest of the strange
    The coldest of the cool
    The lamest of the lame
    The numbest of the dumb
    I hate to see you here
    You choke behind a smile
    A fake behind the fear
    The queerest of the queer

    This is what he pays me for
    I'll show you how it's done
    You learn to love the pain you feel
    Like father like son

    The queerest of the queer
    Hide inside your head
    The blindest of the blind
    The deadest of the dead
    You're hungry 'cause you starve
    While holding back the tears
    Choking on your smile
    A fake behind the fear
    The queerest of the queer

    I know what's good for you, you can touch me if you want
    I know you're dying to, you can touch me if you want
    I know what's good for you, you can touch me if you want
    But you can't stop

    The queerest of the queer
    The strangest of the strange
    The coldest of the cool
    The lamest of the lame
    The numbest of the dumb
    I hate to see you here
    You choke behind a smile
    A fake behind the fear
    The queerest of the queer
    The strangest of the strange
    The coldest of the cool
    You're nothing special here
    A fake behind the fear
    The queerest of the queer

    I know what's good for you I know you're dying to
    I know what's good for you
    I bet you're dying to
    You can touch me if you want
    You can touch me if you want
    You can touch me
    You can touch me
    But you can't stop Writer/s: BRYAN DAVID VIG, DOUGLAS ELWIN ERICKSON, SHIRLEY ANN MANSON, STEVE W. MARKER
