  • Gouge away
    You can gouge away
    Stay all day
    If you want to

    Missy aggravation
    Some sacred questions
    You stroke my locks
    Some marijuana
    If you got some

    Gouge away
    You can gouge away
    Stay all day
    If you want to

    Sleeping on your belly
    You break my arms
    You spoon my eyes
    Been rubbing a bad charm
    With holy fingers

    Gouge away
    You can gouge away
    Stay all day
    If you want to

    Chained to the pillars
    A three day party
    I break the walls
    And kill us all
    With holy fingers

    Gouge away
    You can gouge away
    Stay all day
    If you want to Writer/s: Charles Thompson
