And of Empire's Rome
You strut your rest away and your suicide poem
Anna crossed, from your face that died before Jesus came
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
And a cross from a faith that died before Jesus came
And the vampires foam
You stretch your a** to wear any sewer-side pose.
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
And the vampires rock
You strut your a** to wear in your suicide bomb.
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
Beautiful fat dark man
Beautiful f***ed up man
Beautiful, dark man.
Beautiful, f--ed up man.
The radio edit covers up the expletive, so it sounds like she's pausing after the word "beautiful"
Dirty little mystery
Building a mystery
Livin' at church
Where you sleep with food at dawn.
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls.
Oh, you're so beautiful. Isn't it charming?
Oh, you're so beautiful with an edge and charm.
Stretch your a*s to wear
The suicide bones.
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem.
Stretched your a** to wear
A suicide bone.
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem.
Stretched your a** to wear
In a suicide pose.
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem.
With an Asian charm
or
with an Asian arm
With an edge and charm
You call out nights
And that's where the energy calls
And the dark side of night
At the old man's home
You stretch your a** to wear
And the suicide phones
It's across from a faith
That died before Jesus came
Building a mystery.
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith
That died before Jesus came
You're building a mystery.
You live in a church,
Where you sleep with food at dawn
You live in a church,
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
You live in a church
Where you see perverted gods
And you won't give up the search
For your own best friend.
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls.
You scratch your a** hair.
You strut your rasta wear.
You scratch your ass away
You strut your rasta wear
You set us up, you're razor wire sharp.
You're setting up your razor wire shrine.
You spread your a** to wear.
You strut your rasta wear.
You stretch your Astor wear and your suicide bone.
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
You stretch your a** to wear a suicide bomb.
You strut your rasta wear, and your suicide poem.
You stretch your a** to wear a suicide pole.
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
You stretch your a** to wear any suicide bone.
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
You stretch your a** to wear.
You strut your rasta wear.
You stretch your a** to wear
And you suicide pose.
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem.
You stretch your a** to where and your suicide fall.
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
You stretch your ass to wear, and your suicide coat
or
You stretch your ass awake and your suicide posing
or
You stretch your astro wear in a suicide pose
or
You stretch your ass to wear on a suicide door
or
You stretch your ass to where any suicide dome
or
You stretch your ass away and your suicide blonde
or
You stretch your ass away and your suicide blonde
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem
You strut your ass to wear for your suicide porn
or
You stretch your ass to nowhere and your suicide poem
or
You stretch your ass to nowhere and your suicide poem
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem
You stretch your ass to wear a suicide boat
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem
You stretch your ass to wear and your suicide porn
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem
You stretch your ester wear and your suicide book.
You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem.
You strut your Astor wear.
You strut your Rasta wear.
You strut your a** to wear...
You strut your Rasta wear...
You strut your astro wear
In your suicidal pose.
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem.
You're so beautiful with an ancient charm
You're so beautiful with an edge and a charm
You're so beautiful with an angel charm
You're so beautiful with an edge and a charm
And the vampires roll
And the vampires roam
And you won't give up the surge
And you won't give up the search
Where you see the Goo Goo Dolls
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
You give us a tampon
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evenings feel long
Give us a tantrum
And a know-it-all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
You live in a church
Where you sleep with poo-poo dolls
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
You scratch your ass and wear
A suicidal pose
You strut your rasta wear
And suicide poem
You stretched your ass away
You strut your Rasta wear
You strut your ass away
You strut your Rasta wear
