Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am intrinsically no good

I have a heart that's made of wood

And I am only biding time

Only reciting memorized lines

[Chorus]

And I'm not fit to touch

The hem of your garment, oh, no, no

I'm not fit to touch

The hem of your garment, oh, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental]

I have no love, but only goals

How very empty is my soul

It is a soul that feels no thrill

It is a soul that could easily kill

[Chorus]

And I'm not fit to touch

The hem of your garment, oh, no, no

I'm not fit to touch

The hem of your garment, oh, yeah, yeah

[Instrumental]

Oh, no

Uh-huh

[Instrumental]

I am intrinsically no good

I have a heart that's made of wood

And I am only biding time

Only reciting memorized lines

[Chorus]

And I'm not fit to touch

The hem of your garment, oh, no, no

I'm not fit to touch

The hem of your garment, oh, no, no

I'm not fit to touch

The hem of your garment, oh, yeah, yeah

[PostChorus]

Alright, oh, no, hey

Oh, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Hey

Oh, ha, ha
