In instances where the sung lyrics clearly do not match the written lyrics, an approximation has been made and these unofficial lyrics are detailed in capital letters.

HAIRSPRAY QUEEN

I was your mind
You were my
My enemy you were mine
I was your
Your enemy you would mind
I was your
Your enemy you were mine
I was was your ene-

You rang
Your ears rang

I was your mind
You were my
My enemy you were mine
I was your
Your enemy you would mind
I was your
Your enemy you were mine
I was was your ene-

At night, the wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, the disco goddess
At night, the bitch go gawd.......

I was your mind
You were my
My enemy you were mine
I was your
Your enemy you would mind
I was your
Your enemy you were mine
I was was your ene-

Wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, wishful goddess
At night, the witch go gawd.......

I was your mind
You were my
My enemy you were mine
I was your
Your enemy you would mind
I was your
Your enemy you were mine
I was was your ene-

At night, the wishful goddess
At night, wish the hardest
At night, the disco goddess
At night, to itch so modest
At night, the crisco lochness
At night, the mouthful omelette
At sight, the fishful goblets
At night, the witch go gawd.......



From Kurt Cobain's Journals (page 49, transcribed by DN member BleachedBlack)

At night, the wishful goddess
At night, she ll wish the hardest

Voice Droned

At night, the wishful goddess
At night, she ll wish the hardest
At night, the disco goddess
At night, the itch so modest
At night, the crisco lochness
At right, the mouthfull omelette,
At sight the fishfull goblets at night the witch go
