The Swan Bride

you’re peeling off my skin
like I was a rotten tangerine
take a juicy bite
and spit it out
I’ve got a bitter heart…because of
la la la la lies in your beautiful eyes

those little secrets we all have
don’t take it, baby, to your grave
it’s time to scream it out
so scream out loud
come on

what’s on your mind?
when you walk the streets of a neon town
what’s on your mind?
when you lock the door of your room each night
what’s on your mind? when you close your eyes
here’s my lullaby
but you will never sleep well
in this dirty freak hotel

those little secrets we all have
don’t leave them inside freak hotel
it’s time to scream it out
to bring it out
onto the light
la la la la lies in your beautiful eyes

what’s on your mind?
when you watch TV and feel a strange disgust
what’s on your mind?
when you smile, when you drink, when you fuck, when you cry
what’s on your mind? when you close your eyes
here’s my lullaby
but you will never sleep well
in this dirty freak hotel
