Misery

Red light pulses to a shadow beat
Painted faces intimate torment underneath
Inner scars on display…lipstick…lingerie
Shuffle over to me I can hear her say

Come on baby
Close your eyes with me
Come on baby
Dance the Misery

Come on baby
Look…but don’t see
Come on baby
Dance the Misery

Blacklight girl with apathetic pout
I don’t care what you’re all about
Check your melodrama at the door
It’s your pale flesh that I’m coming for

Come on baby
Close your eyes with me
Come on baby
Dance the Misery

Come on baby
Look…but don’t see
Come on baby
Dance the Misery

Baby I’m not as hollow as I seem
I too am a pariah dying in my dreams
Maybe we can fix each other if we play this right
Or maybe not but at least we’ve got tonight

Come on Baby
Close your eyes with me
Come on baby
Dance the Misery…
