lyrics

At night I move with mannequins in perfect gentle ease.
Statues mistaken us for mobile deities.
People wish they wore the hips frozen in a sway
leaning on the empty heels of a hope they saw in a window display.
Flip back Jack this here's a surprise attack: what's yours will be mine.
You cause black banshee wailings to play checkers in my spine.
This one wants to be adored and this one wants some praise.
This one just wants survival from the birds that are circling above their prey.
I hid your gun under your pillow just in case you go off before I do.
Meanwhile, back at home, there's a warm fire waiting for you
On angry torches outside a bomb shelter made for two.
My skin bleeds replica in fancy fashion lines.
You'll find your mannequins on the magazines in a grocery store check-out line.
I hid your gun under your pillow. These graves are bows set in your hair.
Like ants in the TV static, like bats rattling around in the attic,
You can't predict our foolish nature to i-m-i-t-a-t-e.
I know these words I speak don't mean anything to you.
My tongue speaks bullets but your ears are bulletproof.
You inject makeup in your heart and you put plastic in your head.
Why keep your insipid form when there's a really pretty face waiting here for you instead?
