There is a bar they call The Bitter Sea
And she sits and drinks a velvet crush
That's koolaid and gin, casing the clientele
Like a relentless cameraman
She is elsewhere, she says
You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
And I say "Little sisterFont you do what your big sister does
Spiral down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Well, desire looks just like you with an uzi nine
Gun down fifteen bystanders in a roadside drive by
Desire is the grass fire drinking gasoline
And she says Open up your mouth, man, let me come inside
Spiral down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
She cracked
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
She snapped
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
She's gone, gone, gone
Aah, leaning up against the wall
I will lash out dancing like a madman when you're gone
I will spit the blue flame and hurl my glass against the wall
And I will hear your name coming out from a boom box
I will hear your name called out from passing cars
Spiral down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
She cracked
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
She snapped
Now they call me Mr. Bitterness
She's gone, gone, gone
