Faking ways to pay the bills
Making headlines what a thrill

Oh take a pill

In reality you are just as messed up as a lunatic
Sustained insane

Be honest with me hand on heart
Before it's going to tear you apart

Will it ever be enough
Will you go too far

In the corner of my eye
Invading private lives
A penny for your pity thoughts
Always two steps behind
In the corner of my eye
There's a flash in the night
Smiling happy for the lens
Will you sleep well tonight
You swore you'd never sell your soul

How could you make a choice so poor
Kiss me violently peaceful

Selling out an easy sin
Until the devil comes collecting in

Ashamed you'll pay

Be honest with me hand on heart

Before it's going to tear you apart

Will it ever be enough
Will you go too far

In the corner of my eye
Invading private lives
A penny for your pity thoughts
Always two steps behind

In the corner of my eye
There's a flash in the night
Smiling happy for the lens
Will you sleep well tonight
You swore you'd never sell your soul

How could you make a choice so poor
Kiss me violently peaceful
Show me
Tell me what you want to see
Tease me
Tell me what you want to read
Bring me headlines
Tell me sweet lies
Show me
Everything you haven't seen
Tease me
The cover or the centrefold
Bring me headlines
Tell me sweet lies

Kiss me violently peaceful
Violently peaceful

Will you sleep well tonight

A penny for your pity thoughts
Always two steps behind

In the corner of my eye
There's a flash in the night
Smiling happy for the lens
Will you sleep well tonight
You swore you'd never sell your soul

How could you make a choice so poor

Violently peaceful
