	HEART-SHAPED BOX


	(8) INTRO
	She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
	I've been locked inside your Heart Shaped box for a weeks
	I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
	I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

	Hey!
	Wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	hey
	wait
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	Hey!
	Wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice

	...your advice

	Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
	Cut myself on Angel Hair and babys breath
	Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
	Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

	Hey!
	Wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	hey!
	Wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	Hey!
	Wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	...Your advice
	
	*SOLO*

	She has me like a pisces when I am weak
	I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
	I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
	I wish I could Eat your cancer when you turn black

	Hey!
	Wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	hey!
	wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	Hey!
	Wait!
	I've got a new complaint
	Forever in debt to your priceless advice
	Your advice
	Your advice
	Your advice
