Binky The Doormat

by Patti Smith

[Verse 1]
This is horror movie stuff
The muffin is peach, you're 'making love'
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated
Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet
She's a girl and she's loving me
But distance is my tendency
I am defeated

[Chorus]
Have you lost your place?
(Go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face
(Go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that
(Go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat
(Go away, go away)

[Verse 2]
If I'm your oyster, where's the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn
I know you can't find a fork
I am just a little acorn
Well, acorns grow to mighty trees
You've got sauce, but you don't have knees
Now look who's asking pretty please
I lay defeated

[Chorus]
Have you lost your place?
(Go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face
(Go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that
(Go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat
(Go away, go away)

[Verse 3]
Call your bathroom friends around
I will fake a little frown
I will be your little clown
Easily defeated
Yeah, shut the door and open wide
Seconal and astroglide
f*ck with me and traumatize
Don't you see I love your hide?
All the beauty that's trapped inside
Can't you see I love your hide?
Can't you see I love your hide?
Can't you see it?

[Chorus]
Have you lost your place?
(Go away, go away)
I wore my doormat face
(Go away, go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that
(Go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat
(Go away, go away, go, go, go)
I hung my this or that
(Go away, go away, go away, go away)
I laid my welcome mat
(Go away, go away, go, go, go)
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away
