There’s a four letter word
Waiting to be heard
Fallin’ out on the flo-or
Through this racket and the ruins
The coppers outside the door
Wrestle iron with the crow-bars
Burns thru curtains that you sew
Makes you flash, flashing in red
L is just a letter for the lonely
O is just a touch of open sores
V is just a thing of venomous bother
E is just something that eats you to the bone
And the serpent by my head
Drip it’s poison in my eyes
Slits it’s tongue across my cheek
Eats my four letter word
I suck my four letter word
I let it linger on my tongue
Strawberry candy and razor floss
Make my lips, burnin’ in red
L is just a letter for the longing
O is just a hole that opens up wide
V is just a touch of vacant ballrooms
E is just a little endless to endure
