How Dirty Girls Get Clean

by Billy Corgan

[Verse 1]
I've lost my mind yeah
I've lost control
I've the lost the feeling in my arms
I'm a lost soul
Make the most of me baby
Oh don't spit me out
This is how dirty girls get clean
Don't leave me now

Listen to her lust, yeah
Hear her disgrace
Listen to the fragile things
As they all break
Watch from the covers
The comfort of your home
Through the ice and sleet baby
Oh down down we go

What angry star
Runs your devil heart?
What angry star
Runs your devil heart?

[Chorus]
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean

[Verse 2]
And I wanted you
Like no one before
Said you're coming back for me honey
This is how hell forms
This is how a storm begins
This is how trouble's born

Listen to her sleep, yeah
Listen to her wail
You've given birth to terrible things
Watch them unveil
Listen to my torment
Listen to my pain
Please come on back here baby
Let me try again

What angry star
Runs your devil heart?
What angry star
Runs your devil heart?

[Chorus]
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean

[Verse 3]
And the rain it poured down
And the wind it moaned
And she wrapped her legs around him
And she's got no home
And he's looking at me
Oh god he looks so dumb
What are you staring at?
This is how it's done

I will define for you
The meaning of greed
While you were vanishing
This dirty girl got clean

What angry star runs
Your devil heart?
What angry star
Runs your devil heart?

[Chorus]
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
