Molly
Fossil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Molly doesn′t sleep with men
And anyone can see she wants me dead
Drowned buried in my masculinity

Molly, it's the sweetest irony
Molly, Molly, Molly you′re beautiful to me

Molly wears a leisure suit
No makeup almost no perfume
She revels in her androgyny

Molly, it's so difficult to see
Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, run away from me

I won't disrespect you
Won′t heterosex you with gender supremacy
Oh pity my ignorance and vanity

Molly spends the time she′s not
Getting colored in the local tattoo shop
By piercing parts of her anatomy

Molly left a hole inside of, e




Molly, Molly, Molly, one bitter irony
Molly, Molly, Molly, you're beautiful to me.
