She put a bullet in my head Still she hated my ghost So she filled her guitar with dynamite Then strapped it to my host Thinking no one would come To pick up my pieces And she was right Until I had an impulse to sing I sung her song against her with glee And in her cold heart She knew she was a lover But she was no dancer
So she turned our battle Into the biggest school-charade "Barons of suburbia Cast your votes Who likes who better?" Till I was laughed off the stage Started to sink to her level Even without a body I started to sink to her level Just another pale face With unfinished business
It's the poison she serves It spreads thin like butter On all you once thought beloved Till it rises like black sea-foam on the bog And as I go through my Daily evaporations I often wonder where she'd be Without all her little helpers Her elves and her salesmen And even those who pull her strings Did dear daddy pull her strings Till live and let live Became live and let not?
She on the inside of out I on the outside of in You think they'd be one and the same But they're not She was begotten But she was forgotten So she turned to the only trade left Operating on deceit ******* to the beat Of second-hand news She can't create So she manipulates Turning the decay of others Into an art form for her eyes
But she could never hold a candle In my darkness And I'll never tremble at her words They're adjectives, not verbs And she may set my robes to shame With the flame of her armor But she'll never sit under the shade Of the tree that doesn't rot Cause I may die a little death each day But you can't **** the same thing twice One victory is all you need, says she But will I see her in another life?
