How to Play Dead

Song is from Sleater-Kinney (self-titled album) CD/LP.
CD released on Chainsaw; 10" LP released on Villa Villa Kula. Both CD & LP available at Kill Rock Stars.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

you wanna try,
go ahead and try
you want it now, that's the way it goes
you wanna hurt me
go ahead and try

you're feeling sick
you poor thing
clean up your little mess
then I'll suck your dick
didn't I tell you
it wasn't fun

you want to show me how to play dead
how to be still
how to please you

if I don't give you just what you need
it hurts you (I'm such a tease)
you're just a boy
who likes to whine

I'm gonna choke can't feel a thing
you say go deeper you like it when I scream
and then you tell me
I'm so good

you want to show me how to play dead
how to be still
how to please you

what's good for you is not for me
what's over for you is not over for me
I won't suck your big ego and swallow all my pride
I'm spitting out your memory and stains you left
inside of me I'm sick of being full with what you
fed me what I choked down... rip it outta me, I wanna rip it out of me...

I'll show you how it feels to be dead
how it feels to be held still
how i wish you were dead
