That rusty head in the shower, it poured itself out in the tub
Made the linoleum curl off in strips that looked like old ticket stubs
But the disposable blue just kept looking at you
Didn't cut quite as deep as you wanted it to
But no matter how you holler, how you shout
That pretty girl up in the attic ain't never comin' down here
To let you out
That hook called to you saying "come down and hang from my rung."
Used the upside-down rosary so you didn't disturb anyone
But that hook on the door couldn't take it no more
It left you passed out on the hardwood floor
And no matter how you holler, how you shout
That pretty girl up in the attic ain't never comin' down here
To let you out
Those nightmares in the basement, they kept you from coming back for more
They just drove you to madness, now you're stuck here banging on the cellar door
But no matter how you holler, how you shout
That pretty girl up in the attic ain't never comin' down here
To let you out
That lovely white lady you met took you in by the arm
You spoke with her too long, 'cause you wanted to do yourself harm
She gave you nosebleeds and hate, and she kept you awake
But the service you requested didn't quite take
No matter how you holler, how you shout
That pretty girl up in the attic ain't never comin' down here
To let you out
No matter how I holler, how I shout
That pretty girl up in the attic ain't never comin' down here
To let me out
Pretty girl you don't even have to kiss me,
If you want to let me out
