  • PRETTY ON THE INSIDE
    Slutkiss girls
    Won't you promise her smack?
    Is she pretty on the inside?
    Is she pretty from the back?
    Slutkiss girl
    Won't you water her rack?
    Is she pretty on the inside, baby?
    Pretty from the back?
    Slutkiss girl
    Molasses rot black strap
    Is she ugly on the inside, baby?
    Ugly, ugly from the back?
    There is no power like my pretty power
    My pretty power
    My ugly
    Slutkiss girl
    Won't you promise her smack?
    Is she pretty on the inside?
    Is she ugly?
    Ugly?
    Ugly?
    Ugly?
    Ugly?
    Ugly?
    Ugly?
    Ugly?
    Ugly?


    CLOUDS
    Bad boy

    Rows and flows of angel hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feather canyons everywhere
    I've looked at clouds that way

    Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
    The dizzy dancing way you feel
    As every fairy tale comes real
    I've looked at clouds that way

    But now they only block the sun
    They rain and snow on everyone
    So so many things I could've done
    But clouds

    Angel dust gets in your eyes, your hair
    On acid stars you're getting there
    My body's assembled into
    A little itty-bitty gift to you
    When you die, I've looked at life that way

    But now it's just another show
    You leave 'em laughing when you go
    So, so don't let them inside, don't let them know
    Don't give yourself ohh away

    But now my friends are acting strange
    They shake their heads man, they say I've changed, well
    Well, something's lost, rearranged
    From living every, every, every, I've

    I've looked at clouds from both sides now
    From up and down, and still somehow
    I'ts just illusions I recall

    I really don't know, I really don't know
    I really don't know, I really don't know
    I really don't, I really don't clouds at all
    Why are we here...terrified, terrified, wow Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
