Lipstick On A Corpse Lyrics

Play by the rules, stay in the lines

Savor the taste while I waste all your time

Foiled and fooled by everything that I could never carry home

Lipstick on a corpse, you're the heir to my throne

And I can't explain what's going on inside

Searching for some peace of mind, settle for a piece of you

But I see you leading me into light

I knew the flesh and the bone would not suffice

I'm crawling my way back, cadence like a heart attack

Buried and born again

Safe in the cage, I'll cradle my pain

Soil and seed lie in wait for the rain

Faith in the fire, embracing every breath until they all escape

I whispered a verse while you were cursing my name

And I can't explain what's going on inside

Searching for some peace of mind, settle for a piece of you

But I see you leading me into light

I knew the flesh and the bone would not suffice

I'm crawling my way back, cadence like a heart attack

Buried and born again
