{{Song intro|Slow, Deep and Hard|the opening}} The song represents everything contained on the album. It begins with a sharp hiss and then riffing begins. The first canto of this song, titled "Anorganic Transmutogenesis (Synthetic Division)" is thrashy, then goes to doom metal section then back to thrash. The second canto, "Coitus Interruptus", is an acoustic instrumental overlaid with the sound of female moaning while having sex. The third canto, "I Know You're Fucking Someone Else" (which is the same title as [[I Know You're Fucking Someone Else|the altered version]] of this song on ''[[The Origin of the Feces]]''), is the longest canto of the album and second longest of the band. It is a pop metal part, then goes to organ part then back to pop metal before the album's longest track ends. The third canto is about feeling depressed and agony from a cheating girlfriend while being drunk and features NYHC chants of Slut! Whore! Cunt! Right after the song ends, handclaps are played for the last 15 seconds of the track.

The song represents everything contained on the album. It begins with a sharp hiss and then riffing begins. The first canto of this song, titled "Anorganic Transmutogenesis (Synthetic Division)" is thrashy, then goes to doom metal section then back to thrash. The second canto, "Coitus Interruptus", is an acoustic instrumental overlaid with the sound of female moaning while having sex. The third canto, "I Know You're Fucking Someone Else" (which is the same title as the altered version of this song on The Origin of the Feces), is the longest canto of the album and second longest of the band. It is a pop metal part, then goes to organ part then back to pop metal before the album's longest track ends. The third canto is about feeling depressed and agony from a cheating girlfriend while being drunk and features NYHC chants of Slut! Whore! Cunt! Right after the song ends, handclaps are played for the last 15 seconds of the track.

This is the only single released from Type O's first album and the song included on both of their greatest hits albums—The Least Worst Of and The Best of Type O Negative.

Lyrics

[Canto I: Anorganic Transmutogenesis (Synthetic Division). "{{{2}}}"]
Trust and you'll be trusted
Says the liar to the fool
Lust and so what if you're busted?
In love and war there ain't no rules

Do you believe in forever?
I don't even believe in tomorrow
The only things that last forever
Are memories and sorrow

Out of sight out of mind
The motto of betrayal
The prophets preach to forgive and forget
I'm sorry, but I am unable

[Canto II: Coitus Interruptus. "{{{2}}}"]
[Instrumental]

[Canto III: I Know You're Fucking Someone Else. "{{{2}}}"]
You went to L'amour Saturday night
Red nails and lipstick dressed two sizes too tight
His tongue down your throat
His hand up your skirt
Yeah I'm a man
But it still hurts

Slut
Whore
Cunt

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

You had cock on your mind
And cum on your breath
Inserted that diaphragm before you left
Practicing freelance gynecology
Where there's a womb there's a way
With you it's for free

Slut
Whore
Cunt

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

Done it before
Time after time
Refused to learn your lesson
Gave 'til it hurt
Thought it was right
Only fools make mistakes twice

So you sit home
Drinking alone
Empty bottle in your hand
Don't even try
To sort out the lies
It's worse to try to understand

You
You make me hate myself

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

I know
(He knows)
I said I know
(He said he knows)

I know
(He knows)
