Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head.

Oh...sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be

The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

Never happy endings on these dark sets.
All's fair for damage inc. You see.
Step a little closer if you please.
