 She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
 I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
 I've been drawn into your magnet tarpit trap
 I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice
 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice
 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice,
 Your advice

 Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
 Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
 Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
 Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice
 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice
 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice,
 Your advice

 She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
 I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
 I've been drawn into your magnet tarpit trap
 I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice
 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice
 Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint,
 forever in debt to your priceless advice,
 Your advice
