lyrics

I’m Not Vicious

I saw him grin, one hell of a grin
When he turned the screw
That fractured smile just sealed my hate
For people like you
You’d have to have walked through the pain I felt
To understand the pleasure I feel

I’m not vicious about it
I’m not vicious to you
I’m not vicious about it
I’m not vicious to you

I saw him swim, and tightening in
Just circle the prey
Those razor teeth just ripped to the bone
And ended your day
You’d have to have swam in infested seas
To understand the treasure I’ve found

I’m not vicious about it
Oh, I’m not vicious to you
I’m not vicious about it
Oh, I’m not vicious to you

I felt her long tubular fangs sink into my skin
Rearing her head up she struck me again and again
You’ve have to have slept in a serpent’s den
To understand the freedom I’ve found

But I’m not vicious about it
Oh, I’m not vicious to you
I’m not vicious about it
Oh, I’m not vicious to you

(Jan Gregor)
