    So I ran faster

    But you caught me here

    Yes my loyalties turned

    Like my ankle

    In the seventh grade

    Running after Billy

    Running after the rain

    These precious things

    Let them bleed

    Let them wash away

    These precious things let them break

    Their hold over me



    He said you''re really an ugly girl

    But I like the way you play

    And I died

    But I thanked him

    Can you believe that

    Sick, sick, holding on to his picture

    Dressing up every day

    I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys

    Those Christian boys

    So you can made me cum

    That doesn''t make you Jesus

    I remember

    Yes in my peach party dress

    No one dared

    No one cared

    To tell me where the pretty girls are

    Those demigods

    With their nine-inch nails

    And little fascist panties

    Tucked inside the heart

    Of ever nice girl

    These precious things

    Let them bleed

    Let them wash away

    These precious things

    Let them break

    Let them wash away
