Lyrics Touch My Evil - Lydia Lunch

Picked up in a roadside diner
Just a hair short of the number five
Slumped across a dirty counter
Jinglin' a pocket full of dimes

Leaving town in a hurry
Had no time to pack your bags
Ask a waitress for directions
Heading south of the Mexicali line

Burning bridges is your Bible
Brag about a stupid thrill
Left your baby in a phone booth
Got yourself some time to kill

This road only leads to nowhere
Live a lifetime of regret
Sweetest kiss that ever smoldered
Extinguished like your dying breath

This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere

I'll mock your torture and weakness
When you fall on bended knee
Don't beg me for forgiveness
Hurt yourself by pleasing me

I've warned you now not to linger
Scars you bear breathe my name
Your heart will just surrender
Love burns with caustic flame

This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere

This will only get you nowhere
Live through oceans of regret
For the passion that we conjure
Curse your lifetime after death

This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere

I'll take you down south of your border
Help you lose what's left of your mind
Only so many hours left to nightfall
So many ways to break the hands of time

Let's skin a script, bang some Percocet
Get so damn high that we kick the sky
Buy a bottle and a blanket
We'll get so damn drunk that you'll start to cry

Pull up to an all-night strip joint
Get so excited that we'll burn it down
Kidnap the owner and his mistress
A sleazy motel on the edge of town

There we'll stage a little party
I'll put you in the starring role
You'll play the victim and the villain
I'll play the killer with a heart of gold

Haha, you love taking the victim, don't you, baby?

I'll take your hostage, get you wound up
You'll love me more with each passing threat
By the morning we'll be married
Tomorrow night and you'll be left for dead

This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere

I've warned you now not to linger
Scars you bear breathe my name
Your heart will just surrender
Love burns with caustic flame

I'll mock your torture, your weakness
When you fall on bended knee
Don't beg me for forgiveness
Hurt yourself, please me

This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere
This will only get you nowhere

Picked up in a roadside diner
A hair short of the number five
Left for dead in a dirty restroom
Get a body file just in time

I'm leaving town in a hurry
Had no time to pack my bags
No need asking for directions
I'm heading south of the Mexicali line
