Mr. Bitterness Lyrics - Ruby Vroom - Soul Coughing

There is a bar they call The Bitter Sea 

And she sits and drinks a velvet crush--that's 

Kool Aid and gin--casing the clientele 

Like a relentless cameraman. She is 

Elsewhere. She says You keep a-knocking 

But you can't come in, and I say 

Little Sister, don't you do what your Big Sister does 

Spiral down down down down down down down 

Well desire looks just like you with an Uzi nine 

Gun down fifteen bystanders in a roadside drive by 

Desire is the grassfire drinking gasoline 

And she says Open up your mouth, man, let me come inside 

Spiral down down down down down down down 

She cracked 

Now they call me Mr. Bitterness 

She snapped 

Now they call me Mr. Bitterness 

She's gone 

Gone gone 

Aaah, leaning up against the wall 

I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone 

I will spit the blue flame and hurl my glass against the wall 

And I will hear your name coming out from a boom box 

I will hear your name called out from passing cars 

Spiral down down down down down down down 

She cracked 

Now they call me Mr. Bitterness 

She snapped 

Now they call me Mr. Bitterness 

She's gone 

Gone gone
