lyrics

Is it just the same
When you’re just as lame?
You feel less exposed
In your trouble-kid pose

She fights to breathe,
She might just be alright,
She slights the scene,
She might just be all mine

We take the flak,
We turn our backs
To the whips,
If you can face
Endless disgrace,
Your will slips
Away.

Let me hear you sing
About your diamond rings;
Does it soothe your soul
When it’s all for show?

She fights to breathe,
She might just be alright,
She slights the scene,
She might just be all mine

Get on your ledge,
On a knife’s edge,
[Of] uncertainty,
Issue your threats,
Go place your bets
On her, then me

Such a supple skin,
Nothing left within,
And a sensual touch,
But it doesn’t mean much

See yourself for what you really are

We take the flak,
We turn our backs
To the whips,
If you can face
Endless disgrace,
Your will slips,
Get on your ledge,
On a knife’s edge,
Uncertainty,
Issue your threats,
Go place your bets
On her, then me.
