Chrissy Kiss the Corpse
Chrissy's Macabre Ballet: Unveiling Hidden Desires in Of Montreal's Melody
Lyrics
On a bus stop bench sat an ancient lady
Describes an elderly lady sitting on a bus stop bench.
It was clear she was dead yeah we all could agree
Everyone around acknowledges that she is dead.
And that death had arrived quite unexpectedly
Her death was sudden and unexpected.
Cause the poor wretch died with a book on her knee
The lady died while reading a book, highlighting the abruptness of her demise.
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Repeated call for a person named Chrissy to kiss the deceased.
Chrissy kiss the corpse
-David drew a mustache under her nose
Various individuals engage in macabre actions with the dead body, such as drawing on her, putting a match between her toes, and placing a cockroach in her pantyhose.
Nick put a burning match between her toes
-I put a cockroach in her pantyhose
-Chrissy put on some lipstick
-And struck a dramatic pose
-Chrissy kiss the corpse
Reiteration of the request for Chrissy to kiss the corpse.
Chrissy kiss the corpse
-Chrissy's such a pretty lass
Description of Chrissy as a seemingly innocent and pretty person with a hidden, dark hobby.
As benign as broken glass
-No one in her family knows
-The vile hobby that she chose
-Some cops came by so we hid behind a tree
The group hides from the police who warn against inappropriate contact with the dead, suggesting legal consequences.
I peeked out and they noticed me
-And said fondling the dead is a felony
-But you got nothing to fear
-'cause we only came to see
-Chrissy kiss the corpse
Re-emphasis on the desire for Chrissy to kiss the corpse.
To see Chrissy kiss the corpse
-Chrissy's such a pretty thing
Further characterization of Chrissy, highlighting her outward beauty while hinting at a disturbed mind.
Gentle as a scorpion sting
-No one ever would suspect
-That her mind's completely wrecked
