A round of applause is due for the mimic Who sleeps to ignore the sounds of the city Home shut and dressed up Pledges to rip all seems from his body Whilst nailing his feet, counting his money Wide eyed and bright eyed Fancies his skin, all torn in surrender Begins to cover himself with him The perfect idol Stalking his strange inflections and movements Finally decides to jump out the window A child like us, sweat on his cheek, a bite on his lip Lays Lays Lays Lays Cursing his senses Lays Lays Lays Lays New to his name Lays Lays Lays Lays Dead arms begging Lays Lays Lays Lays A stranger for kindness You can Keep running your mouth on the pavement But it's talent you need on this show Keep barking your love on the pavement But you're not enough, not for this show Keep a crime this foul on the pavement It's nothing new But sobering still The marks in chalk The mercy kill But sobering still The marks in chalk The mercy kill Had Death, like a patron, shivered when nude
