Lyrics:
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house now let me spin
Python power straight from Monty
Celluliod loves got a John Frusciante
Spread your head and spread the blanket
She's too free I'm the patient
Black and white red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream don't let me go
A purple stain-I know
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
Up to my ass in alligators
Let's get it on with alligator haters
Did what you did-did what you said
What's the point yo what's the spread
Black and white red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream don't let me go
A purple stain-I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's the way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is where- I go
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there
But I don't care
'Cause this is what
I want to wear
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house now let me spin
Farley is an angel and I can prove this
Feather light but you can't move this
Purple is the stain upon my pillow
Let's weep sleeping willow
Black and white red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream don't let me go
A purple stain-I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's the way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is where- I go
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there
But I don't care
'Cause this is what
I want to wear
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
