I want you to know
He's not coming back
Look into my mouth
I'm not coming back

So knives out
Cut him up
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth

If you'd been a dog
They would have drowned you at birth
Look into my mouth
It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth

So knives out
Cut him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

I want you to know
He's not coming back
His blood is frozen
Still there is no point letting it go to waste

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

    despite being a massive radiohead fan, i actually prefer the flaming lips cover of this song. it's more psycologically disturbing with wierd guitar things in the background. add me to msn messenger (my address is on my profile) and i'll send it to you.
