Lyrics

Utilitarian

Catacomb, catacomb

Be my security

Count it off, count it off

Be my big sister

I walked forty-six blocks

You've been putting it off but come on

I've got meat in my arms

I've got steel in my teeth, so come on

Making out, taking out

It's utilitarian

Heartache, adulate

It's utilitarian

Oh yeah, we're in love with this perverted world, yeah, come on

When I walk down the steps, I'm just halfway across the world

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah
