He shakes his dead rattle
Spittle on his bib
But I don't do the dishes
I throw them in the crib

I'm eating you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick

And I've stumbled here
Failed to make it mine
They say I'm plump
But I throw up all the time

I'm eating you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick

Do you fake it for me like I...
Do you fake it for me like I...
Do you fake it for me like I...

My baby's in her arms
Crawling up her legs
Like a liar at a witch trial
You look good for your age
I'm eating you
I'm overfed
You milk's in my mouth
It makes me sick

    General Comment:This song is about her pregnancy and Frances.
    It's also about how Frances was taken from her parents, hence the witch trial line.

    General Comment:Bulemia?
    I am not sure.
    Good lyrics, though. Courtney always comes up with the weirdest stuff.

    General Comment:I think this is about her being pregnant with Frances.
    The lyric "they say im plump, but i threw up all the time"
    could mean that she doesnt understand how she could be fat if she is throwing up all the time
    like morning sickness

    General Comment:This song is clearly about bulemia. i didnt notice the first time, and my friend thought it was about a blow job.. but its about an eating disorder. I know a lot about eating disorders.. for reasons. and the baby part is how she acts like a baby to try and get the food out her mouth... spitting it out and stuff.

    General Comment:some how this song speaks sex and cheating to me
    just re read the lyrics a couple times

    sex:
    do you fake it for me like i
    do you fake it for me like i
    do you fake it for me like i

    cheating:
    my babys in her arms, crawling up her legs

    the plump bit is about how self conscious she is because she wants him so bad

    General Comment:I agree with what has been said about this song, but I kind of feel like the part that goes,

    I'm eating you, I'm overfed
    Your milk's in my mouth
    It makes me sick
    Now I've stumbled here
    Failed to make it mine
    They say I'm plump, but I throw up all the time
    I'm eating you, I'm overfed
    Your milk's in my mouth
    It makes me sick

    could be Frances Bean "talking". As in, she's eating her mother's breast milk. And then how she "Stumbled here" and "failed to make it mine" could be referring to when she was with the authorities. Lastly, "They say I'm plump, but I throw up all the time", babies have baby fat, and are therefore, plump, although they still throw up (spit up) all the time.

    I dunno', just a thought.
