Little China doll hovers high above
Temporary wings, manacles of love
Psychic buttercup, silently she beams
From a gorgeous rage, a progeny of dreams
It's a sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
Heavy smile
Yeah
Flying mental kites, crippled queen of tears
Orphan satellites, prisoner of fear
Will you go insane, twisting in the wind
Open up a vein and fly
It's a sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
A heavy smile
Yeah
Dancing a shotgun ballet
Subpoenaed away
A giggling muse
Whispers the good news
A collar of pearls
Hold on, lucky girl
A violet haze
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
A heavy smile
Oh, oh, oh
Smile
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Tragic butterfly, beauty's not immune
Doubts her gift to fly, still feels the cocoon
Do you dare to dream of a heedless day
Blissful to ignore away
It's a sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
A heavy smile
(Sacred need)
Oh
(Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile)
A heavy smile
(A heavy smile
Sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed)
Smile
(And you wear it like a heavy smile)
You wear it
(A heavy smile)
A heavy smile
(Sacred need)
A heavy smile, a heavy smile
(Left you writhing on the golden mile)
A heavy smile, a heavy smile
(You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile)
A heavy smile
(A heavy smile
Sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed).
