	She says, nobody wants to believe
	You're the same as
	Everyone
	What makes makes me
	Unique
	My dark life
	There was a kink in the
	World
	Sent that statue
	Tumbling
	An invitation east
	So we can watch it all
	Crumbling
	She came on like a light
	And so softly she spoke
	You don't know
	You don't know about
	My dark life
	And you think you're a
	Guest
	You're a tourist at best
	Peering into the
	Corners of
	My dark life
	Now that you, you tear
	Your dreams
	From consumptive
	Ballerinas
	She'll stand on tiptoe
	For you
	In a grey and tattered
	Tutu
	She stay's where
	She is
	Cause of voyeurs like
	These
	With an accusative look
	That says
	My dark life
	Rubber men await you
	There
	In each beguiling alley
	To shake you and to
	Pierce you and remind you of
	My dark life
	Enter the pious elite
	In their preening finery
	And bang the tambourine
	They're dining on rice
	Paper scenery
	See how the villain
	Attracts
	Envious glances from
	Everyone
	She's waitressing by day
	It doesn't bring in
	Much money now
	And as strong concealed
	Arms
	Set off bells and alarms
	In the strangest
	Locations of
	My dark life
	But the fantasies
	Slipped
	As he tipped her in
	Cigarettes
	She tries to smile very
	Graciously
	When she wants to kill
	Him
	Now the victory is sweet
	You get down upon your
	Knees
	It's the perfect
	Position
	For kissing west on
	Leather
	So they came from ugly,
	Texas
	And from nameless,
	Tennesee
	From peculiar, missouri
	And from places closer
	To me
	All the cream of
	Heartless england
	Cheer the carnival is
	Over
	And members of army
	Bandsmen
	Played america the
	Beautiful
