My Dark Life Songtext / Lyric

She says, nobody wants to believe

You're the same as everyone

What makes makes me unique

My dark life



There was a kink in the world

Sent that statue tumbling

An invitation east

So we can watch it all crumbling



She came on like a light

And so softly she spoke

You don't know, you don't know about

My dark life



And you think you're a guest

You're a tourist at best

Peering into the corners of

My dark life






Now that you, you tear, your dreams

From consumptive, ballerinas

She'll stand on tiptoe for you

In a gray and tattered tutu



She stay's where, the is

'Cause of voyeurs like these

With an accusative look that says

My dark life



Rubber men await you there

In each beguiling alley to shake you

And to pierce you and remind you of

My dark life



Enter the pious elite

In their preening finery

And bang the tambourine

They're dining on rice paper scenery



See how the villain attracts

Envious glances from everyone

She's waitressing by day

It doesn't bring in, much money now



And as strong concealed, arms

Set off bells and alarms

In the strangest locations of

My dark life



But the fantasies slipped

As he tipped her in cigarettes

She tries to smile very graciously

When she wants to kill him



Now the victory is sweet

You get down upon your knees

It's the perfect position

For kissing west on leather



So they came from ugly Texas

And from nameless, Tennessee

From peculiar, Missouri

And from places closer to me



All the cream of heartless England

Cheer the carnival is over

And remnants of red army bandsmen

Played, "America The Beautiful"
