He tries to embrace her
she wants him to race her
he needs a laser
to get it through her skull
means and lies and hatreds
tears that fall in sequence
cold caress
imprints
conversation growing dull
Says he´s a poet
lousy protozoan
and he kisses ass for free
I took a vow of silence
when he tries to talk to me
I just turn on the tv
He tries to impress her, mentally undress her
it takes more to possess her
but in his pocket lies a hole
he´s got a thousand talents
charisma by the bagful
aristocratic parents
a rebel with a heart of gold
Says he´s a poet
this time he´s gonna blow it
´cause he´s dancing with his ego
I took a vow of silence
when he reads his work to me
I swallow words like a
placebo
He´s strutting with your flesh mechanic
gets him in a panic
he´s wasting time
´cause everybody is a star
in his eyes
Careful not to give your favours
to your lonesome fucked-up neighbours
I had one who sent me her heart
in a tupperware container
all the movies in my head
they flicker with my bleeding heart
a careless slipping of the tongue
on just another private part
Blatant search for
stoned affection
fights the rust that
breeds infection
meet me at the
intersection
don´t forget your
fuel injection
He´s strutting with your flesh mechanic
gets him in a panic
he´s wasting time
´cause everybody is a star
in his eyes
You think this love is bona fide
you´re being taken for a ride
wrap your lip around your head
and slowly blow yourself away
she wants him to race her
he needs a laser
to get it through her skull
means and lies and hatreds
tears that fall in sequence
cold caress
imprints
conversation growing dull
Says he´s a poet
lousy protozoan
and he kisses ass for free
I took a vow of silence
when he tries to talk to me
I just turn on the tv
He tries to impress her, mentally undress her
it takes more to possess her
but in his pocket lies a hole
he´s got a thousand talents
charisma by the bagful
