The Devil Wears Lip Gloss

I move through the world like a ghost. No soul no reason no remorse for you or me. Are you blind? are you lost? You do what you can to stay free. But what is the point to your madness and the reason for mine? Where is the happiness that you want to find? Sugar in the side of the liver sick man Shadow by the smile in the snow The Blood and the mud by the fire in the pan Don't say a word because you don't know You dance like you dance on nails and glass And you sing like you sing when your throats on fire But you can't take back-lost love from the past And pretty words on paper wont bring you any higher I've got no soul and I feel no pain And you can't make me out against the pouring rain But a can of peaches and a bottle of pills Can make a hell of a difference on this bloody hill How can you laugh and how can you cry? Take me to the river so that I might see What started the lie? And, who told it to me? Free the genie and burn the witch Down the bottle and slap the bitch Run and scream and cower and flee It's all a joke because you can't hide from me You're running scared and your life is at a loss But you can't do a damn thing because the Devil wears lip-gloss Written March 8th, 2002 © on Mar 08 2002 02:42 AM PST   0 • 10
