My coat. My mouth. My throat. My eyes. My teeth. My name. You've got none of it right. [verse 1 - snotty talk-sing rhythmic deadpan, dry delivery, four-on-the-floor undertow, sparse scratchy stabs, Le Tigre-style punchy attitude] You called me by the girl before me Left her perfume soaked into my name I spit it on the carpet Still smells the same You wrote me on a sticky note Stuck it under somebody else's face I peeled it off and ate it Left no trace [pre-chorus - feisty rising pitch snarl, gang vocal layers creeping, synth-punk tension swell, handclaps cracking like whips] Say it slower — say it louder Does it even fit inside your mouth? Say it slower — say it louder Spit it out [chorus - gang vocal riot explosion, double-tracked snotty layered shouts, Yeah Yeah Yeahs ferocity blast, full four-on-the-floor + fuzzed bass, maximal anthemic chaos] Chew my name wrong Bite down on somebody else Chew my name wrong Taste the teeth of someone else I'm not her — I'm not her I never said that I was her Chew my name wrong Spit it out [verse 2 - punchy dry talk-sing, rhythmic percussive guitar stabs, riot grrrl edge bite, electropunk synth undertones growl] You looked straight through me at the wall behind me Said you'd seen that coat before on someone good I took it off and burned it Misunderstood You wrote my number down in someone else's handwriting Filed me under a name that wasn't mine I crossed it out in marker Thick black line [pre-chorus - feisty intensifying, gang layers stacking, DFA raw build, handclaps + jagged synth crashes] Say it slower — say it louder Does it even fit inside your mouth? Say it slower — say it louder Spit it out [chorus - layered gang shouts snarl, full chaotic post-punk energy, synth-punk crash, indie-sleaze peak with ferocious attitude] Chew my name wrong Bite down on somebody else Chew my name wrong Taste the teeth of someone else I'm not her — I'm not her I never said that I was her Chew my name wrong Spit it out [bridge - stripped vulnerable-to-sharp pivot, thin jagged synth line, deadpan spoken riot grrrl intimacy then bite, minimal beat drop for tension] You said "you look familiar" I said — no I don't You said "I know your face" I said — no you won't You said "what's your name again?" I said — you don't deserve it [break - handclap crowd stomp build, gang punctuation shouts "Hey!" "Wrong!" "No!", electropunk swell, scratchy noise rising ferociously] Hey! Wrong! No! [outro - maximalist chant chaos explosion, overlapping gang vocal layers, four-on-the-floor full throttle, clashing fuzzed guitars + synths, DFA noisy decay, defiant repetition rampage] Chew it — spit it — wrong wrong wrong Chew it — spit it — not my name Wrong wrong wrong wrong Not my name — not my face — not my coat Wrong wrong wrong Spit it out Wrong wrong wrong... Spit it out [End]
