The Emperor’s New Sores Lyrics

[Chorus]
Poisoned, sick and dying
It’s all coming down
Hanging by a tendon
Coming off the bone
Pent up fucking insects
Trying to get out
Breathing through a chest wound
Sucking through a hole

[Verse: Sung and [i]spoken[/i]]
(Some will live, some will die)
[i]You look so pretty in that dress[/i]
(Some will live, some will die)
[i]Hunched to one side with a sickness[/i]
(Some will live, some will die)
[i]A disease you accept as normal and fashionable[/i]
(Some will live, some will die)
[i]And no one can see…
The emperor’s new sores[/i]
[Chorus]
Poisoned, sick and dying
It’s all coming down
Hanging by a tendon
Coming off the bone
Pent up fucking insects
Trying to get out
Breathing through a chest wound
Sucking through a hole[Verse: Sung and [b]pleading[/b]]
