Yesterday's Mattress, Today's Secrets, Tomorrow's Gossip

I have the key
to your future
it's no riddle

I made good time
the wrist knows the watch
you spread your legs at midnight

writhing in white sheets
ripped for the linseed oil
your mineral spirits are on fire baby

the song plays
it needs more throat
the easel more sticks

I have the key
I can get you there
she can put you there

yesterday's mattress
today's secrets
tomorrow's gossip

cold steel
hardened part
you're addicted

you've gone too far
to stop it
does it burn?
