In their own words 10
, And because my teeth don't bite, I can take them out dancing / I can take my little teeth out and show them a real good time
Each strand of her hair / Is really insect eyes / And each hole in her tongue / Is always occupied / By the milk of the sun
Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow. / Maybe that spider knows something i don't know, / 'cause i'm goddamn cold.
