lyrics
THE ARRANGEMENT
I don’t care if you’re conflicted
I don’t care if you cry
I don’t care if you hate me
Believe me so do I
I don’t care if you bite me
If you claw at my skin and my hair
I don’t care if you love me
I don’t care, I don’t care
In the evening, when the sky is bruised
And the roof beams are beaten by the rain
And the wind thrashes wildly
Against a helpless windowpane
I’ll be your Daddy, I’ll be your Sir
And you’ll do as you are told
And in the morning, when I kiss you, withhold
I don’t care if you’re working
I don’t care if you’re ill
I don’t care if you’re in mourning
You’ve got orders you’ve agreed to fulfill
I don’t care if you’re bedridden
If chemotherapy has taken all your hair
I don’t care if you’re sick of all this shit
I am, too, babe, but I don’t care
In the evening, when the light bulbs burst
And the floorboards have rotted and decayed
And the wallpaper boils and bubbles
And the mattress has gone to fray
I’ll be your Master, I’ll be your God
And you’ll clean up everything I soil
And in the morning, when I kiss you, recoil
Treat me like shit, treat me like shit
We both know, darling, you can
Treat me like shit, treat me like shit
We both know, we both know I am
Treat me like shit, treat me like shit
We both know, darling, you can
Treat me like shit, treat me like shit
We both know, we both know I am
