The First Incision

歌詞

Her fatal charm is a beautiful knife How tempting to caress the blade Your fingers touch its cutting edge The first incision is then made The cruel and unusual punishment Of her dismissive smile In her cruelty, her beauty, her indifference Her gift to beguil She pulls a poisoned arrow From her quiver of disdain She feels no shame as she takes aim A butterfly pinned to showcase cork It's just a game Only a game She strikes her matchless Garbo She beckons as she double locks the door Her sign says "closed" on both sides But all the lonely boys come back for more She gives the brush off to invisible dust Fastidious to a fault, shows dirt the door She is untouchable within her guilded cage Alone but for cuttle fish to claw Laiden with gifts Her suitors fall in line To suffer the inevitable "No" With each rejection and the passing of time These infatuations grow The cruel and unusual punishment of her dismissive Smile In her crueltv, her beauty, her indifference Her gift to beguil
