REM - Binky The Doormat lyrics

rate me

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

This is horror movie stuff

The muffin is peach, you're "makin" love'

You mean this opera involves handcuffs?

I lay defeated

Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet

She's a girl and she's loving me

But distance is my tendency

I am defeated

(chorus)

Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)

I wore my doormat face (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

I hung my this or that (go away, go away, go away, go away)

I laid my welcome mat (go away, go away)

If I'm your oyster, where's the war?

You leave me gasping, tattered and torn

I know you can't find a fork

I am just a little acorn

Well, acorns grow to mighty trees

You've got sauce, but you don't have knees

Now look who's asking pretty please

I lay defeated

(repeat chorus)

Call your bathroom friends around

I will fake a little frown

I will be your little clown,

Easily defeated

Yeah, shut the door and open wide

Seconal and astroglide

Fuck with me and traumatize

Don't you see I love your hide?

All the beauty that's trapped inside

Can't you see I love your hide?

Can't you see I love your hide?

Can't you see it?

Have you lost your place? (go away, go away)

I wore my doormat face (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

I hung my this or that (go away, go away, go away, go away)

I laid my welcome mat (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

I hung my this or that (go away, go away, go away, go away)

I laid my welcome mat (go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)

Go away, go away, go away

Go away, go away, go away
