Envy on the Coast
"Southern Comfort"

I dont bathe in the flesh like the American way
But I've savored the breath of American Ladies
Another bee on the petals of a flower choked in the weeds
A mother lied when she said she knows of real beauty

If you swallow the bait
With a bottle of wine
You can live like a queen
In the open wound of a pretty smile

I ate for hours and hours and hours and I'm still hungry
I filled the body with gasoline and let you ignite me
I only wish I had a match for every baby girl on earth
Save them from drowning in their mothers milk after birth

If you swallow the bait
With a bottle of wine
You can live like a queen
In the open wound of a pretty smile

You don't sleep in your skin because it makes you fill cheap
So you hang it next to your bed and hope your bones will still keep
