Boomtown Rats - Hurt Hurts lyrics

rate me

I don't want to listen

But I think I see you screaming

And it hurts.

Instant Solzhenitsyn

I get salt mines when I hear your voice

It hurts.

Kiss the hurt off her Kung Fu tongue

I turn off when she turns on

That's why I'll say

Hurts hurts.

Who an' what an' where an' when an' why an' how an'

Which you bitch

It hurts.

The false teeth shake an' rattle

When the slack mouth tittle tattles

And it hurts.

Kiss the hurt on her Kung Fu tongue

I come off when she comes on

That's why we say

Hurt hurts.

My ears are bleeding

My stomach's so sore

I slice the hurt off her Kung Fu tongue

We come off when they come on

That's why we say

Hurt hurts.

Hard side

Tough inside

She cut you with stiletto style

Boy, it hurts.

I lick the wound, she tears the eyes

You scratch her back and she'll claw mine

That hurts.

My eyes water

My mouth's so dry

Kiss the hurt off her Kung Fu tongue

I turn off when you turn on

Then I might say

Hoit hoits

Hurt hurts.
