Lyric/Song Structure:
The word that I heard was so absurd
I can't believe it slipped from my lips
The tongue with which it was sung was so dumb
I wish to pull it straight from my skull
What the fuck was I thinking
The word that I heard was so absurd
I can't believe it slipped from my lips
The tongue with which it was sung was so dumb
I wish to pull it straight from my skull
What the fuck was I thinking
