Push me to places
I ain’t seen before
I’ll paint on some faces
To look like your whore
But deep in my mind
There’s so little you see
I keep it locked tight
Holding onto what’s me
The terrible things
That we do in this world
Are only a symptom
We pass off – absurd
So I’ll do my worst
‘Til I’m hailed as the best
You’d think we were cursed
But we’re just like the rest
And I can breathe magic
Just give me the word
It smells rather tragic
But haven’t you heard
The twisting of sisters
And mothers and misters
Is brotherly love
With a burning that blisters
It’s time for my act
So get ready to listen
My mould has been cracked
I’m the last one to glisten
With genuine feeling
That’s cheap by the dozen
You’re welcome to healing
But no kissing your cousin
I’ll take you to heights
Just to jump off the top
And tell you of sights
‘Til you beg me to stop
There’s nothing to do here
And less I can build
But I’ll keep my mind clear
And my body filled
With poisonous substance
That’s hardly substantial
You’ve really no beef
The whole thing’s circumstantial
It doesn’t make sense
When I come from this background
But who cares for pence
When you’re far from the fair ground
The going was rough
I thought I was a goner
But nothing says tough
Like a second-hand Doner
I don’t mean to pry
But why are you still reading
When you could be flying
And fucking and speeding
Nobody cares
So what if I get careless
I’m doing my thing
And it’s none of their business
You just keep paying
The price of my ticket
It’s cheaper than praying
And you know you can stick it
