Turn Out the Noise

by Betania Tesch

you better turn out the noise
turn out the noise
like the lights
with the men in your bedroom

I know you remember
because I saw you watching,
your jaw laying on the floor

I better turn out the noise
before the boys come back
and start pounding on the door

they can hear inside your head
like an acid trip
all purple and swirling
and scary but oh-so-fun anyway

you better turn out the noise
cause it's making your liver bleed
and the sharks won't leave you be
if you don't clean up

I can't stop it now
after all this time of chaos
it's hard to grab the reigns
and harder to want it

he's got such
pretty, bloody lips
you could feast on them

you better turn up the noise
and drown him out fast
or else he might kiss you back
and wouldn't that be fatally beautiful?

Ooh, yes it is and yes it was. Slip-rip-beautiful Beth, slip-rip-beautiful!
