Get to Know Me

Say, come inside
Don't you wanna get to know me?
I'm just a little snot-nosed shepherd boy
So I'm self-employed
So I'm self-assured
Cottonmouth, Capricorn
Ooh lord, a star is born

You see, some paint their nails
Some ride the bus to work
Some invest trust in the world
Wind up disgusted and hurt

Me, I'm lean like a limousine
Voice like a violin, so
Isn't anybody listening?

Maybe I can help you
Honey, I can hear you
It's as painless as this
Listen
Lay a nail across your arm
And trace a straight line on your skin
Baby, as you wish
It's permanent

Comme ci comme ca
Do whoever's laughing
But only kiss the ones for whom you feel
Look's like your tongue's been slipping
Lips are chapped and scabbed
Complexion's gaunt
She's showing
Well, you don't always get what you want
Don't you wanna get to know me?

Little miss talk-about-it-in-the-bathroom
"These days I pine for the simple life"
As she cuts the line
Thick enough to stop a bullet

Sad boy made it to the tabloids
Even had a show on Disney
Learns the trust is all but emptied
Vanished on some fuckin' whimsy
Thrusts his face into the dust and
Speeds down La Cienega
Punchin' the clutch
Nervous like a wreck
Pinned like a note that read

Come inside
Don't you wanna get to know me?
I'm just another snot-nosed shepherd boy
So I'm self-employed
So I'm self-absorbed
Cottonmouth, Capricorn
Leanin' on the horn
Come on
