Melodramatic Popular Song (2021 Remastered Version)
She's a monk on fire in protest
Only smoking whilst the cameras aim her way
An empire that burst to flame
To find itself alone in her head space
She gives a piece of herself
To everyone she meets
To slowly reel you in
But she falls out of love with everything
She's got ancient beliefs under off white sheets
She gets caught up
And lies too much
An orchestrated scientific mind
An iron door for fire fights
A curtain call for basic human rights
She's open ripe and waiting to begin
The insect sting that burns through clothes
And leaves you left out
The perfect alibi to get you back home
It sinks through the skin and
Tricks your bones and it
Sucks out all the marrow
Sabotaging sleep patterns to keep you up
And walking around
If somebody trusts you when you lie
Then nobody greets you when you die
If nobody sees you when you show
Then nobody knows you when you go
If no one believes you when you lie
Then angels will greet you when you die
If nobody sees you when you show
Then nobody knows you at all
Only smoking whilst the cameras aim her way
An empire that burst to flame
To find itself alone in her head space
She gives a piece of herself
To everyone she meets
To slowly reel you in
But she falls out of love with everything
She's got ancient beliefs under off white sheets
She gets caught up
And lies too much
An orchestrated scientific mind
An iron door for fire fights
A curtain call for basic human rights
She's open ripe and waiting to begin
The insect sting that burns through clothes
And leaves you left out
The perfect alibi to get you back home
It sinks through the skin and
Tricks your bones and it
Sucks out all the marrow
Sabotaging sleep patterns to keep you up
And walking around
If somebody trusts you when you lie
Then nobody greets you when you die
If nobody sees you when you show
Then nobody knows you when you go
If no one believes you when you lie
Then angels will greet you when you die
If nobody sees you when you show
Then nobody knows you at all
