Song Lyrics

H-A-T-E
Is that how you spell love in your dictionary
K-I-C-K
Pronounced as kind
F-U-C-K
Is that how you spell friend in your dictionary
Black on black
A guidebook for the blind

Well now that I can see my eyes won`t weep
Now that I can hear your song sounds cheap
Now that I can talk all your corn I`ll reap
I`m not so sure that Joey wed a Virgin Mary
There are no words for me inside your dictionary

S-L-A-P
Is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary
C-O-L-D
Pronounced as care
S-H-I-T
Is that how you spelt me in your dictionary
Four-eyed fool
You led `round everywhere

Now that I can see it`s the queens new clothes
Now that I can hear all your poison prose
Now that I can talk with my tongue unfroze
I`m not so sure of Santa or the buck-tooth fairy
There are no words for me inside your dictionary

Now your laughter has a hollow ring
But the hollow ring has no finger in
So let`s close the book and let the day begin
And our marriage be undone
