[00:25.86] A home removed, a life resumed right here.
[00:38.33] The Priest and the Rosary,
[00:50.27] The book and the bond between he and me
[00:59.47] has long since broken.
[01:07.77] A boy who's grown, too short to see,
[01:17.74] A tale unfold, too tall to be.
[01:28.76] A life once lived behind closed doors,
[01:39.84] The irony of the pensive whore
[01:49.15]
[01:51.19] Touch, taste,
[01:53.76] Feel it ripping me down.
[02:02.20] Reprise, two times, the Dime.
[02:06.56] Burn it to the ground.
[02:10.05]
[02:13.47] The inquiry of Ms. Terri,
[02:15.94] The expiry of misery,
[02:18.51] The table turns, the sun along,
[02:21.23] The riverbed, and he's alone.
[02:24.39] Her object of affection,
[02:26.78] Conflicted by convictions of indecency, sorority,
[02:32.33] Corrupted by impropriety.
[02:35.48] The cavalier, she hopes of him,
[02:38.13] In dissonance with experience,
[02:40.44] The boy who grows, with knife in hand,
[02:43.67] To fend for her, becomes a man
[02:46.33] While she plays fake affection,
[02:48.71] And carefully lacks objection,
[02:51.61] To her gentleman caller's twisted desire.
[02:56.65]
[02:57.67] Touch, taste,
[03:00.15] Feel it ripping me down.
[03:08.41] Reprise, two times, the Dime.
[03:12.78] Burn it to the ground.
[03:18.67]
[03:41.70] We dance around the room,
[03:46.91] My love, I'll carry you,
[03:54.42] And I'll teach you how to treat that
[03:57.06] Leading lady that you'll meet.
[04:03.80] We dance around the truth, my dear
[04:11.74] I lie for you, and when I lie down,
[04:18.74] I'm simply lying to them too
