I guess I should have known to stay away

From a snuff film by Jean Genet

But the cash was good and the

Director gave me the biggest scene

 What does it mean when Pentecostal born-again virgins

 Appear picketing in angry protest?

 Oh, those sloppy tarts

 Have sulphurized hearts

Sure, a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue

In a coffin after being hung

Does make strange erotic cinema

But that was the great master’s vision

And the actors agree to portray

 The fiend is best in a death fantasy

Because when one is licking the knife

Ah, well, that is truly the life

Oh, what does it mean

When the stagehand approaches

Wheeling in a guillotine?

Let’s play nice

Yes, I want to be a star

But that’s going too far

Yes, I’m still smarting from the bite

Of coital sessions in gelatinal light

I’m questioning my chosen career

Don’t think I’ll be attending the premier
