Supernatural Eyes

He took the circus
and the courthouse
Built her both in the same vicinity
Go and cut her open, then
Leave her lying in the bathtub, fright smeared on her face
with some makeup from last night's dead town excursions
She looked for herself in the grey waters of the new city
but everything was dirty, dirty, dead, and dry
Leave her lying in the bathtub for baby to find
When he comes from his first love in the afterlife
He wouldn't never leave radio for her
Poor girl hated to see him around anyone else
Especially when he got into the skeleton planes
She's nothing but a love ghost now
Take the train through the virgin cities from Portland!
Tell them you were robbed by death angels!
They'll eat your words
And put you on the 8 o clock news
He'll never think of the blonde he ran from
And all she wanted was a rainbow kiss
Baby, do you think I'm crazy? You're a fucking doll.
They never thought he'd be such a dick
Cake boy crying for peace and justice in front of a drunken audience of street dogs
They tore her shirt off as the credits rolled
Boys wearing rings don't like sluts, you know
He's just a heartbreaker, they'd seen it before
Her energy was polluted from the pond where she swam
but you've got to give her some credit for trying
They tore off her clothes and tossed her to the sea
She begged the violet clouds for redemption but they pushed her further into the plantation
Is she a vampire or is she a witch?
Bring her up and burn her to pieces
Blow her ashes through the telephone wires
We're going to fucking party tonight
She's a carnivorous sinner
She got what she deserved
That wife of his is really something
She was really something
Now she's just yesterday's rotting headlines!
