The Face of The Nation
She never meant to hurt you
So sorry
She never meant to lead you on
It's an ordinary day
In an ordinary street in your town
It just isn't enough to keep her
She wants to
Take you to the city lights
Take you into paradise
Then drag you through the razorwire
Where your fear becomes desire
She's frozen
In stubborn little creases
Smashed open
In tiny little pieces
Such an undramatic place
Could be anywhere at all in your town
It just isn't enough to free her
She wants to
Take you to the city lights
Take you into paradise
While the Sabres Rattle
You've got your beauty queen makeup
and your hair just right
Anyone who gets to see you
sure is in for a sight
I sit here in wonderment
and in disbelief
your glance is so uncomfortable
just like a petty thief..
{chorus}
You are a queen, you are a picture
Of what a man is supposed to want to love
You start to get closer
and then you're sitting next to me..
As you walk by i can
smell your perfume
I can actually smell it everywhere
there's a trail across the room
I listen to your conversation
I am hypnotized
If it's got an end like that
it must be memorized..
{chorus}
Your lips so red and your skin so white
Your platinum hair gives off a glow
Your head begins to turn
and then you're lookin' right at me..
To a girl like you I just don't
know what to say
It's too bright here in the theater
perhaps another day
It's something in the way you move
it's something I just don't know
But it's kinda hard to wanna love you
when I wanna throw you out the window..
{chorus}
Your heart is being broken by someone!
And someones' heart is being broken, by you, by you!
