Fever to Tell
by: Yeah Yeah YeahsI'm rich
Like a hot noise
Rich, rich, rich
I'll take you out boy
So stuck up
Wish you'd stick in to me
Flesh ripped off
RAAAAAWR
Turning it beating no beat
The walls are always speaking
No want no want no want no speaking at all
She slipped down a rot drink
Unzipped she doesn't exist
So unloved
I took 'em standing up
So stuck up
