Of Montreal The Actor's Opprobrium lyrics

I guess I should have known to stay away
From a snuff film by Gene Genet
But the cash was good
And the director gave me the biggest scene

What does it mean when Pentecostal born again
Virgins appear picketing in an angry protest?
Oh those sloppy tarts have sulpherized hearts

Sure a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue
In a coffin after being hung
Does make strange erotic cinema
But that was the great master's vision

And the actors agree to portray the fiend
Is best in a death fantasy
'Cause when one is licking the knife
Oh, well that is truly the life


Oh what does it mean
When the stagehand approaches
Wheeling in a guillotine
Let's play nice, yes I want to be a star
But that's going too far

Yes I'm still smarting from the bite
Of coital sessions in gelatin light
I'm questioning my chosen career
Don't think I'll be attending the premier

Oh no oh ohh
Oh no oh ohh
Oh no oh ohh
