She says nobody wants to believe

You're the same as everyone

What makes me unique

My dark life

There was a kink in the world

Sent that statue tumbling

An invitation east

So we can watch it all crumbling

She came on like a light

And so softly she spoke

You don't know you don't know about

My dark life

And you think you're a guest

You're a tourist at best

Peering into the corners of

My dark life

Now that you tear your dreams

From consumptive ballerinas

She'll stand on tiptoe for you

In a gray and tattered tutu

She stay's where she is

'Cause of voyeurs like these

With an accusative look that says

My dark life

Rubber men await you there

In each beguiling alley to shake you

And to pierce you and remind you of

My dark life

Enter the pious elite

In their preening finery

And bang the tambourine

They're dining on rice paper scenery

See how the villain attracts

Envious glances from everyone

She's waitressing by day

It doesn't bring in much money now

And as strong concealed arms

Set off bells and alarms

In the strangest locations of

My dark life

But the fantasies slipped

As he tipped her in cigarettes

She tries to smile very graciously

When she wants to kill him

Now the victory is sweet

You get down upon your knees

It's the perfect position

For kissing west on leather

So they came from ugly Texas

And from nameless Tennessee

From peculiar Missouri

And from places closer to me

All the cream of heartless England

Cheer the carnival is over

And remnants of red army bandsmen

Played America the beautiful
