"Cherry", also known as "Virginity" or "Virgin Tea", is an unreleased track from the leaked demo album Toxicity II.
Title[]
The original title is most likely "Cherry", which in this context means the hymen[1] regarded as a symbol of virginity. The other two were derived from the song's lyrics.
Lyrics[]
[Intro: Serj Tankian]
I don't know why she called
"Cherry/Virginity/Virgin Tea" | ||
---|---|---|
Song by System of a Down | ||
Recorded | Sometime in 2001-2002 | |
Length | 1:51 |
But it was her strange way
Of tellin' me about her
Fuck! [Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
She told me she was the one and then everything was done
And then I looked around, what did I see?
She told me she was the one and then everything was done
And then I looked around and, what did I see?
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Well, I fucked her!
Right underneath the tree
And I can't believe I took her virginity
Virginity, virginity
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]
And then I just woke up,
what a strange nightmare
My eyes couldn't focus,
Was it her?
Was it a friend or foe?
I didn't really know
But as I turned around, what did I see?
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Well, I fucked her
Right underneath the tree
And I can't believe I took her virginity
Virginity, virginity
[Bridge: Serj Tankian]
Virgin tea, virgin tea, virgin tea, virgin tea
Won't you buy some virgin tea?
Won't you buy some virgin tea?
Won't you buy some virgin tea?
Won't you buy some virgin tea? [Chorus: Serj Tankian]
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Well, I fucked her
Right underneath the tree
And I can't believe I took her virginity
Virginity, virginity [Outro: Serj Tankian]
[Outro: Serj Tankian]
And then I just woke up
What a strange nightmare
My eyes couldn't focus
Was it her?
Why was it not released onto Steal This album?[]
Probably due to the lyrics being very inappropriate.
