I guess I should have known to stay away
From a snuff film by Jean Genet
But the cash was good and the
Director gave me the biggest scene
What does it mean when Pentecostal born-again virgins
Appear picketing in angry protest?
Oh, those sloppy tarts
Have sulphurized hearts
Sure, a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue
In a coffin after being hung
Does make strange erotic cinema
But that was the great masters vision
And the actors agree to portray
The fiend is best in a death fantasy
Because when one is licking the knife
Ah, well, that is truly the life
Oh, what does it mean
When the stagehand approaches
Wheeling in a guillotine?
Lets play nice
Yes, I want to be a star
But thats going too far
Yes, Im still smarting from the bite
Of coital sessions in gelatinal light
Im questioning my chosen career
Dont think Ill be attending the premier
