Lyrics: Imperial Teen

So sick then
Take medicine
I'm up to my neck in
Party favors, pesticides, and pills.

The water is broken
The rash is unspoken
And I can smell the fever in the dark.

Can't go back
Can't go straight
Can't turn
Can't cross a bridge I've yet to burn...

Imperial teen

The lepers are fixin'
The hawk bit the chicken
Killin' boys
But giving birth to men

So you're the new messiah,
I think ya should retire
I'm a fan of Liberace, too.
One fat lip,
One black eye,
One back,
True love's not worth much more than that...

Imperial teen
(2... 3...4... 1)
Does it hurt when you scream?
(2... 3...4... 1)
I remember my dreams
(2... 3...4... 1)
Mister Imperial teen.

If I only had another hand
I'd cut it off and start a band...

Imperial teen
(2... 3...4... 1)
Does it hurt when you scream?
(2... 3...4... 1)
I remember my dreams
(2... 3...4... 1)
Mister Imperial teen (x 10)
