Hate
The Bones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This ain't a walk through the pearly gates
No, I'm talking about straws and razor-blades
I wanna taste of her good-good stuff
God, I wanna drown in her honey muff
Her honey'd muff
Well I loved her then like I love her now
But she ain't coming back no way, no how
I stuck my fingers where they don't belong
And everyone hated me before too long

I'm all alone as I'm crying on myself to sleep
So I mask my hate at the throne of a porcelain queen
I'm all alone there ain't no one here beside me
So I service myself at the throne of a porcelain queen

Well there's so many women to chose from
But no them got my shy gun
So I drank her whiskey and smoked my tobacco
The talk is cheap and the lies don't come free
Well I hated her then like I hate her now
But she ain't coming back no way, no how
So I stuck my fingers where they don't belong
And everyone loved her before too long

I'm all alone as I'm crying on myself to sleep
So I mask my hate at the throne of a porcelain queen
I'm all alone there ain't no one here beside me
So I service myself at the throne of your porcelain queen

Well where did she go
I am looking everywhere for you
Oh where did you go

Cause I'm all alone as I'm crying on myself to sleep
So I masturbate at the throne of a porcelain queen




I'm all alone there ain't no one here beside me
So I serviced myself at the throne of a porcelain queen

I masturbate into the toilet


I'm all alone there ain't no one here beside me
I am alone


So I serviced myself at the throne of your porcelain queen
I masturbated into someone else's toilet
