Where you put the lipstick before the kiss
He blackened your lungs, blackened your tongue
Darkened your pocket while you were young
Wipe the ink off your kerchief, now
Get going, get out somehow
You're stained, you're staining now
Get clean, get clean somehow
An eclipse, he drew out your light
Fed off you, left you in fright
And when your moon appeared again
You stoon on the dark side, on the end
And he left ink stains on your lips
Where you put the lipstick before the kiss
Caught up in fantasies, the perfect man
Yet again, you're just part of the plan
Wipe the ink of your kerchief, now
Get going, get out somehow
You're stained, you're dirty now
Get clean, wash off somehow
Cause he's a...ink stain on your precious soul
He's a...chain gang you didn't want to know
He's a...hell's baby that's on the loose
You're a...poor baby tied to a noose
You feel the ink stains on your lips
Where you put the lipstick before the kiss
And then your lipstick was all too red
Cause the dogs know where they've fed
And then your shirt was cut too low
The dogs, they know where to go
And then your pants were worn too tight
The dogs, they know where to bite
And the ink stains on your lips
Not from the lipstick but from the kiss
The ink stains down your skin
Where he touched you again and again
The ink stains on your lips
Where you put the lipstick before the kiss
