so sick then take medicine
i'm up to my neck in
party favors, pesticides and pills
the water is broken
the rash is outspoken
and i can smell the fever in the dark

can't go back, can't go straight
can't turn, can't cross the bridge i've
yet to burn
imperial teen

the lepers are fixing
the hawk bit the chicken
killing boys but giving birth to men
so you're the new messiah
i think you should retire
i'm a fan of liberace too

one fat lip, one black eye, one bat
true love's not worth much more than that

(2-3-4-1) does it hurt when you scream?
(2-3-4-1) i remember my dreams
(2-3-4-1) mister imperial teen

if i only had another hand
i'd cut it off and start a band

(2-3-4-1) does it hurt when you scream?
