Infect me with your disease.
Wounds so obscene will never [bad word] clean.
Poison me with treachery.
Oh, how I plead for immunity.

Will you still be my lover in these contagious times?
How intimate. Tag, you're it.

And all that we need is a scapegoat,
Someone to blame for these burning flames.
I'd take a ride in your lifeboat
if you could see through all of my shame. [bad word] me like I'm seventeen-
Youth in exchange for my quarantine.
Mangle me for eternity.
Oh, I'm in need of your sympathy.

All that we need is a scapegoat,
Someone to blame for these burning flames.
I'd take a ride in your lifeboat, boy,
if you could see through all of my shame.

Will you still be my lover in this contemptuous life?
Now I pronounce you man and wife.

All that we need is a scapegoat,
Someone to blame for these burning flames.
I'd take a ride in your lifeboat
if you could see through all of my shame.

Just like a child, I want to be free.
No longer plagued by impurity.
Just like a child, I want to be wise
and view the world through immaculate eyes.
