Verse 2:
Icky thump with a lump in my throat, grab a coat and I was freakin', I was ready to go
Yes, where beside the head she had one white eye, one blank stare lookin' up, lyin' there
On the stand near her hand was a candy cane, black rum, sugar cane, dry ice, somethin' strange
La la la la la la la la la la laa laa laa

White Americans, what, nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an
too
Who's usin' who? What should we do? Well, you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too
(Synth plays)
Icky thump handcuffed to a bunk, robbed blind, looked around and there was nobody else
Left alone, I hit myself with a stone, went home, and learned how to clean up after myself
