More lyrics of the moment: Skeleton Key

I've been listening to a LOT of new music in recent days. This one struck me in particular... All the more interesting considering that a skeleton key is essentially a very basic key that can open virtually any door.
"Skeleton Key" by Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

I did a sick, sick thing to my love.
My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up.
And she cooked me food.
She squirmed and turned like a skeleton key.
She left her man and attended to me.

Don't call me that. Don't claim you love me
'cause you know that ain't true.
My dire affliction I attribute to you.
And you're finally free
to twist and turn like a skeleton key.

You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.

I did a horrible thing to that girl.
I bred my misery and drowned it in her.
And she got me high, and I hardly noticed
there were tears in her eyes.

And I miss you less and less everyday.
This stream of whiskey's helped to wash you away.
And it's clear to see you're nothing special.
You're a skeleton key.

You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.

Whooo!

I just saw this band last night, having never heard them before. They are spectacular live, and I've been listening to their album ever since. Thanks for the lyrics- I've been looking for them. :)
