Put on a plastic face and say you love me
Put the fury of your demons in the shredder of your soul
Cut out a heart shaped ballotine for Jefferson
Put your cocoa-drinking tongue on the February flagpole
Put on a happy face and say you love me

"fury of your demons"-- bills and malicious letters sent from hell ; "shredder"-- paper shredder; "ballotine"-- 'ballot' meets 'valentine', voting for someone with whom you're also in love; "Jefferson"-- William Jefferson Clinton
"the February flagpole"-- originally "my...", changed to omit sexual implication, as it was supposed to be a flagpole in the persona's front yard; "say you love me (second time, on last line)"-- originally "say you'll (bleep) me", with an actual bleep.
