|
Haute couture tin soldiers |
|
All from the same mould |
|
Ragdoll queens with perfect seams |
|
But your eyes are cold |
|
O, your eyes are cold |
|
A fair form with no substance at all |
|
If not "pushed up" you would instantly fall |
|
A stranger tale I know not than you |
|
If not "made up" no one would believe in you |
|
The preachers of perfection |
|
Tell us to be like (before it's too late) |
|
But they can't see the light within us |
|
Trough their designer shades |
|
The peasant will do as his queen will bid |
|
Unconsciously hoping to wake up in her bed |
|
Pretends not to see the disgust in her eyes |
|
That it's all in his head |
|
The preachers of perfection |
|
Tell us to be like you (before it's too late) |
|
But I'll never be you |
|
And it makes you so easy to hate |
|
Your fair feet will walk on water |
|
I may swim and drown |
|
The only weight you'll have to carry |
|
Is the winner's crown |
|
('cause you're beautiful) |
|
I can't trust your pretty face |
|
I hate the pity in your eyes |
|
You know you'll always win the race |
|
No matter how hard I try |
|
('cause your beautiful) |
|
I can see how through life you play |
|
Who would do you harm |
|
But in the dark |
|
Where your beauty won't light your way |
|
Know this to be true: |
|
There I'm stronger than you |
|
You have the "right" of beauty |
|
To do with the world as you like |
|
Behold the well fed one |
|
At our hunger strike |
|
You were born from beauty |
|
You'll find a beautiful mate |
|
To breed more beautiful faces |
|
While I shall die in no one's arms |
|
And vanish without any traces |
|
Your fair feet will walk on water |
|
I may swim and drown |
|
The only weight you'll have to carry |
|
Is the winner's crown |
|
('cause you're beautiful) |
|
I can't trust your pretty face |
|
I hate the pity in your eyes |
|
You know you'll always win the race |
|
No matter how hard I try |
|
('cause your beautiful) |
|
But in the dark |
|
Where your beauty won't light your way |
|
Know this to be true: |
|
There I'm stronger than you |
