Death Row By Proxy

Marionettes dancing round the court yard at 5am
Take a moment to express their distress due to this vague monstrosity
Telephones ring loud as white cigarettes turn to dust
Tell the news that these wrongful affairs
Have at long gone robust

Twenty dollar bills they stir black coffee
The children in the streets they won't stop coughing
Pencil in my next appointment
With the man in the suit who makes me feel soppy

Hospital beds and wedding gowns
Leave roses on the floor
Leave your lungs and tainted opinions at the door
This briefcase affair is starting to suck me dry
And why ever did you fuck me
Oh you scream I cry

How could you believe that I ever needed from you more?
Could I ever compete with your very own much loved conquistador?
I gaze at your lips and your eyes of blue
As words roll off your tongue
You gaze like a swan in my mind
But when in to my arms will you come?

I see your face in the front row
You visit me upon your death row
Throw your lover on to my kill toll
See how he lasts with a bullet in his past

Hospital beds and wedding gowns
Leave roses on the floor
Leave your lungs and tainted opinions at the door
This briefcase affair is starting to suck me dry
And why ever did you fuck me
Oh you scream I cry

Hospital beds and wedding gowns
Leave roses on the floor
Leave your lungs and tainted opinions at the door
This briefcase affair has finally sucked me dry
And why ever did you fuck me
Oh you scream I cry
And why ever did you fuck me
Oh you scream I cry
