|
With your painted lips and your amphetamine eyes |
|
you could spellbind any man to see sunshine in your lies |
|
but I have seen you way too many times before |
|
and I've seen you crying, knocking on your boyfriends backdoor |
|
and that light, that ain't sunshine, babe; |
|
It's your lifelight burning down |
|
There's a mad sun burning on that azure sky |
|
but those are deep pools and bottomless hollow lies |
|
that breathes to life the memories of your childhood glades |
|
and that rends the beauty from your face and paints you grey |
|
and that light, that ain't sunshine, babe; |
|
it's your lifelight burning down |
|
would you care if I told you how I feel? |
|
was that look I saw even halfway real? |
|
would you laugh and just leave me here to wish? |
|
too proud to bend, I would only crash and burn like a |
|
mad sun |
