Lyrics

Private Hell

[Verse]

I have a private hell of excellent quality

I've dwelt there for years, playing with my tears

It's tasteful, luxurious, and full of sexuality

And though there are tears

I control them with my gears

[Chorus]

All in all, I must tell you

Well, I must tell you

I'm so proud of my private hell

[Verse]

Anger and greed brew and then they stampede

Till I can transmute them into more loot

It's tasteful, luxurious, and full of sexuality

And though there are tears

I control them with my gears

[Chorus]

All in all, I must tell you

Well, I must tell you

I'm so proud of my private hell

[Bridge]

I'm so proud of my private hell

[Outro]

All in all, I must tell you

Well, I must tell you

All in all, I must tell you

Well, I must tell you

I'm so proud of my private hell

Proud of my private hell

Proud of my private hell
