Mr. Bitterness Lyrics

There is a bar they call The Bitter Sea.
And she sits and drinks a velvet crush--that's

But you can't come in, and I say
Little Sister, don't you do what your Big Sister does
Spiral down down down down down down down

Well desire looks just like you with an uzi nine
Gundown fifteen bystanders in a roadside driveby

And she says Open up your mouth, man, let me come inside
Spiral down down down down down down down

She's gone,
Gone gone
Aaah, leaning up against the wall
I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone
I will spit the blue flame and hurl my glass against the wall
And I will hear your name coming out from a boom box
I will hear your name called out from passing cars

Spiral down down down down down down down

She cracked...
