Iowa Lyrics

Relax, it's over, you belong to me, I fill your mouth with dirt
Relax, it's over, you can never leave
I take your second digit with me, love,
You are, my first, I can breath
I find you fascinating
You are, my favorite,lay you down to sleep
It's all that I can do to stop, love,
So blue, so broken,paper doll decays
I haven't left you yet
So cold, subversive, your eyes are full of bleach
Tomorrow, I will go away again, love,
You are mine, you will always be mine, I can tear you apart
I can recombine you
All I want is to covet you all
You belong to me
I will kill you to love you.(love)

Iowa

This 15 minute mammoth is a reworking of the original, "Killers are Quiet," that can be found on the band's debut Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat. The song is about someone who kills women and recreates them in his own image, like a living doll type thing. (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

The song's title is not in the lyrics, and the lyrics aren't printed on the album sleeve. They are printed on the CD itself. (thanks, Jim - Oxnard, CA)

Slipknot drummer Chris Fehn (#3) mentions this as one of the strongest of their songs: "The song 'Iowa,' I just like the dark, heavy make-you-think-about-stuff songs. I love 'Eeyore,' and the classics too, 'Spit It Out.'" (Check out our interview with Chris Fehn.)
