Breathe in all the perfumes of Arabia
Breathe out your nasty pride
Dressed in royal blood you come
Hiding all the evil inside
What is all this fuss about?
Did you hurt a toe?
Someone will have to pay a price
I can hear your pain echo
…
You attract eyes
Like money attracts crooks
How hollow their hearts are
How shallow your looks
You put all the men to work
Until your dreams are found
I wonder how far you keep
Your feet off the ground
…
They’re honored by your presence
They love to be part of the show
You laugh and smile with them
But you’re really mocking them, I know
Enjoy the summer while you can
It’s not long before winter sets in
All the mirrors then, would be shattered
When you yearn to see yourself smile again
You’d watch as they leave you
After thanking you for being rude
You’d beg for company
But you’d die in solitude
