Parenthetical Girls — The Pornographer

The Pornographer LyricsLost love of mine
Who gentlemen objectified
I've seen the price and Christ, I sympathize
But then what was I?
Whose charmless arms you slept inside
Who prays one day we make this same mistake twice
Mistake twice

I've learned all my lines and marked all the cues
So boys stand aside before I've thought this through
I've been over this a thousand times
The gist of this I've thrice revised
But hard as I try, I'm helpless to describe
'Cause there stood I with what's left of these looks of mine
Tone-deaf and dumb, my tongue too occupied
Occupy

I've learned all my lines and marked all the cues
So boys stand aside before I've thought this through

So Love's come to town
Now you know what I'm obliged to do
Cruel to be kind, but I'm still fond of you
Because you're just like us
Who tarnish everything we touch
Hands out in front with blood up to the cuffs
And I've seen enough

I've learned all my lines and marked all the cues
So boys stand aside before I've thought this through
