The Charlatan's Silver Tongue Lyrics

Come a little bit closer, baby

Have a couple more drinks and maybe

You'll start to see that I can give you quite a lavish life

Take a few of these pills, cutie

You were blessed with exceptional beauty

Why would you waste that all as some poor sucker's wife?

I know that you must be confused

Just stick with me, kid

I'll tell you what to do

The night must go on even if your conscience doesn't

So dry your eyes and fix your face

The show's about to begin

I know you think that I can make you a star

Well, let's not get impatient

We can talk more when we get back to the bar

I know this must be a little bit overstimulating

Don't tell me you're too good to have some fun from time to time

Show a little more skin, honey

You'll be sleeping in piles of money

As long as you do what I say and don't ask why

The night must go on even if your conscience doesn't

So dry your eyes and fix your face

The show's about to begin

I know I said that I would make you a star

That's only if negotiations go well in the back seat of his car

You want fame?

You want fortune?

Well, I never promised you a goddamn thing

So cry all you like

Go tell all your friends that I'm an asshole

It's worth the hassle not to see your face again

Now get out there and fake that famous grin

All I can see behind the tears in your eyes are dollar signs

Why would you listen to a stranger's advice?

I live exactly the way I told everyone they'd ruin their life

Kiss me, baby, when you tell me goodbye

So I can finally know what rock bottom tastes like

Kiss me, baby, when you tell me goodbye

So I can finally know what rock bottom tastes like
