Lyrics:
Everyone seems to be singin' for Satan
Guess I will to
What a joke, is life
'Till I turn blue
Every tale is hard to bear
What a manly little crew
I don't think I'll tease my hair
I'd rather sit here teasin' you
Won't you writhe like snakes down on the floor?
Out you go and into one hundred more
I seem to lost my cowboy boots
With the fringe runnin' down the side
A sewing machine has made me green
'Cause my jeans didn't turn out tight
All these ruins I took for you
They'll keep my love alive
Your smile overweighs their minds
And your kiss makes it worth the ride
Won't you writhe like snakes down on the floor?
Out you go and into one hundred more
