Betty Cutts Songtext
von Hefner

I believe she′s breathing correctly
I believe her heart rate's fine
But the doctor′s noticed that her pupil's dilating
And is sure that's not a good sign
Paracetamol and whiskey were a stupid idea
Especially when she′s eight months pregnant
Now she′s smashed her head on the porcelain bowl
Now she's lost our baby and she′s fractured her skull
But I can't stop pretending she′s attractive
And I can't keep ignoring that she doesn′t want to live
And I only really care 'cause I don't want to sleep alone
I′m removing sharp objects when I leave her on her own
Well she′s making a full recovery
But she blames me for saving her life
But she still shares my bed and she still takes me dancing
Because it fills up the time


And she's breaking off the ends of her silk cuts
The way she sits makes her look a little crippled
And sleeping and eating have become bad habits
Like sex and watching TV
But I can′t stop pretending she's attractive
And I can′t keep ignoring that she doesn't want to live
And I only really care ′cause I don't want to sleep alone
I'm removing sharp objects when I leave her on her own
If she wants to sleep
Then I should really let her sleep
If she wants to die
Then I see no reason why not
If she wants to sleep
Then I should really let her sleep
If she wants to die
Then I see no reason why
