Lyrics   status: confirmed

Sound asleep til night til day
Frustrated desire turns you away
And turns you insane over and over
You get to a point to make it disappear
And you're always believing
And believing in fear
Over and over and over and over
And over and over... over again
Marilyn Moore

She's always a headache
The size of a tow truck
She's full of disorders
Depends what you're used to
She's talking of trances
Of truncheons in battle
Of bruises from bottles
That never get better
Bad baby bitching she screams at the door
Hammer in hand and head to the floor
Marilyn Moore

Track length: 4:04

First Known Performance: 05/05/86

NOTES:

  • Lydia Lunch wrote the lyrics to the 2nd half of the song.
  • A popular set opener on the EVOL tour.

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

  • On "River of No Return" - LIVE - ?

    Recorded live on 5/29/86 in Wiesband, Germany @ Wartburg. "River of No Return" was a very limited cassette compilation... the booklet that came with the tape actually lists Tom Violence as SY's contribution. However, the tape seems to have "Marilyn Moore" instead, so...

  • On "Chemical Imbalance" 7" - LIVE - ?

    Recorded live on 6/19/86 in Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club. Available on 7" mini-compilation w/ Chemical Imbalance mag.
