Your misery is worn as a veil
To hide bewitchment of the ugliest kind
In place of eve a bitter parody hails
Daggers from the swagger
Of a sodomite's concubine
Bine (Bine)

Gilded cunt
Oh, you gilded cunt

Your thin pretence overstretched and sickly
Feigns love and light a long time laid in the grave
My preference leans to killing you quickly
Scissored in the gizzard
That a heart no more maintains

But I am tied
To the labyrinth and the beast
The one-way track of eyes
Black and grey like panzers

Loose your shell
Shoot the mouth
The gates of hell
Have often dropped their jaws about
Satan's agents were perversion to bear
Side to side with their diversions
You use to guide my fingers there

Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger
Dirty little gold digger

Cunt (Cunt)
Gilded cunt
Oh, you gilded cunt
Cunt
Cunt

Nothing is above you save a boreal light
That halo paid for by a consummated ring of ice
And below you, will I see you tonight
Glower from your tower
Built of ivory and spite?

For I am torn
Between the sheets that keep me borne
And the teeth of a storm
They reap then rape my stanzas

Click your heels
Three times six
The stars are fixed
May I climb and get you one?
The palace at Versailles never held your tongue
Nor did heaven ever weather
The crosses that you came upon

Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger
Dirty little soul frigger

Cunt (Cunt)
Gilded cunt
Oh, you gilded cunt
Cunt
Cunt

    General Comment:I think this song is about some scammer woman who uses her sex and promise of love at the expense of men. I believe she uses her charm and beauty to get men to buy her expensive clothes, jewelry and to give her money. But then suddenly is gone and never lives up to the lies she has told. This actually is a real problem in Eastern Europe and for Western men. However, I do not think it is about the writer's experience but somebody else he knew. Not very sure but perhaps it is about an evil woman who uses beauty and love to get money, obviously. :)

    General Comment:Can anyone decipher the whispers at the end of the song? I can distinctly hear Dani saying "You will need your God now" but otherwise...I can't hear it and it is driving me up a damn wall. Help?

    General Comment:ANd aslo, "frigger" means: one who betters another by underhanded actions. That says something.

    General Comment:First, I thought this song was about someone who gave eally good sex, "gilded cunt". But the rest of the lyrics allude to the person being bad, dirty, dangerous...blah on and on.
    the cunt may be good, but it comes with "daggers from the swagger", and from the disdain expressed in the rest of the lyrics we can see that the person isn't really a masochist.
    He was also led on by her, "you used to guide my fingers there" ans he hates her for that, "scissored in the gizzard"; hurt and used, he continues to make light of her own imperfections "nothing is above you... ivory and spite" also showing that she is no better than him, also at the whim of someone else, "sodomite's concubine". There.

    General Comment:This has absolutely nothing to do with the Pope. It's a song about an abusive gold-digging woman. The narrator comes in time to realize she is bad news, but by that point is tied in with her emotionally, physically (lust), and financially, and is having difficulty breaking it off. Boopshoobooloop is on the right track, although some of his specifics are weak or inaccurate.

    P.S. -- If I didn't know better, I'd say Dani had my stepmom in mind when he wrote this. :P

    General Comment:SithspawN, although your explanation makes a lot of sense, I dunno if it's right because this was on 'Nymphetamine'. Following the theme of the album, it should be about a chick like the rest.
