Flashback
The dolls, the hide and seek
We dreamed of better things
In the tall weeds

I rolled with you
Flashback
Silhouette of the memory
You're eyes are getting heavy

And when I speak
You sleep on cue
3, 2, 1
Did they make you wear a dress did they
Held you down and tickled you did they

Did they laugh and make you watch did they
They wish they had a little girlie
Come closer take a look inside
Flashback

Blueprints have been erased
Matchbooks, butterflies, mornings
The grass was wet
I rolled with you

Flashback
Tentecles of my spirit grow
Sit back, relax and hope
The second time ain't like the first

I'm a schoolboy why don't you teach me
Bend over and we'll hush the squealing
Put on the mask and dance for Daddy
Wait for the world to say it's sorry

You show me yours, I'll show you mine
Flashback, flashback
Listen to the song my blood is singing
Listen to the song my blood is drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin' at you

    General Comment:This and God Hates a Coward will never get old.

    It's worth noting that sexual abuse is also pointed out on the Mit Gas track "Harelip." Least, I think that song's about that...

    General Comment:This should be the last part of the serial killer story running through the record, right after he gets caught in "Laredo", that's what I've read somewhere. Definitely child abuse has a part in there.

    General Comment:Yes, this song is definetly about repressed memories or trauma. Maybe Patton is trying to tell us something about himself???

    Now wouldn't that explain something about him?
