Wow, I had to really look for lyrics. Found some ...

or grab high tensions wires
cut my legs off at the knees

your love is like a nuclear waste
I'd rather stick my tongue into a vat
drink ex-lax all day long
or have to chew on razor blades
or--------- to king kong
Than have to be between the sheets with you for any time
or have to feel your scaly flesh moving onto mine
