Mike Doughty Mr. Bitterness lyrics

There is a bar they call The Bitter Sea
And she sits and drinks a velvet crush
that's Kool Aid and gin

She says You keep a-knocking
But you can't come in, and I say
Little Sister, don't you do what your Big Sister does

Spiral down down down down down down down 2x

Desire looks just like you with an Uzi nine
Gun down fifteen bystanders in a roadside drive by
Desire is the grassfire drinking gasoline
And she says open up your mouth, man, let me come inside

She cracked now
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
She snapped yeah
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness

She gone, gone, gone

Aaah, leaning up against the wall
I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone
I will spit the blue flame and hurl my glass against the wall
And I will hear your name coming out from a boom box
I will hear your name called out from passing cars

Spiral down down down down down down down 2x

She cracked now
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
She snapped now
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness

She gone gone gone and
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
