lyrics

How many dawns before you notice
I ain't hangin' round your door
How many pawns must you take
Before your colour starts to show

You're lyin' on silk sheets lickin' your wounds
You're dryin' your eyes with your silver spoon
You got your slaves to tend you under every moon
You'll get your just desserts can't come to soon

Your smile smells so sickly sweet
When I saw you comin' I was in too deep
You'd take my last and all for keeps
When the truth cuts you back you sit and weep

How much undeserved sympathy
Will you take before you say
You need a fresh well placed heart
To was your guilt away

All to serve your wicked heart
You write your script play all the parts
But you're daddy's little harlot after dark
You've played me before so honey don't you start

Is there a place in your agenda for the truth
Or is it just so the blind will say poor you
You play dumb swear it's just a point of view
Spit polish your halo so it shines right through

You might not like the dealer
When you sit at the poker game
Have you got the cards to see her
When you can't shift the blame

Up nor down, always around, tables turn
Secret codes, tainted notes, handwriting burns
With fraying wool, knits the fool, his tapestry
A new day, is yesterday, a cast away

Playin' your lucky numbers
Just a card from twenty one
Russian roulette torn asunder
One chamber left in the gun

Twisted laugh, paints photographs, stitch in time
Place your blame, within my pain, fault is mine
Lost my will, behind your frill, no one sees
Everlast, shards of past, no one believe
