Fake Palindromes - Andrew Bird

My dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried 
swapping your blood with formaldehyde? 
monsters? 
whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide! 
jesus don't you know that you could've died 
(you should've died) 
with the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth 

and she's got red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes 
and she's got knee high socks, what to cover a bruise 
she's got an old death kit she's been meaning to use 
she's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you 
she's got blood in her eyes for you 

certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads 
they run you hot and cold like a rheostat, I mean a thermostat 
so you bite on a towel 
hope it won't hurt too bad 

my dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried 
swapping your blood with formaldehyde? 
what monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth 

and she says I like long walks and sci-fi movies 
if you're six foot tall and east coast bred 
some lonely night we can get together 
and i'm gonna tie your wrists with leather 
and drill a tiny hole into your head
