White like a white blank lie
Blank like the face of a
A confused and wounded woman
I'll take you to the hospital
And let the doctors have their way with you
You aren't immune
To double-faced and commonplace lies
White lies I don't even try to hide
Chorus:
I am a prophet
Of the destruction of this city
You couldn't be more pretty
Than when you're weeping in your pain
(The pretty eyes that rain)
Like a labyrinth
A maze of words you hate to hear
Hate with a passion, hate with a fashion
You abandoned and hated woman
I'll take you to the hospital
Admit you to the place like I'm your friend
You've never swooned
When fainting is the only thing you can do
A kiss a kiss! a breath for you
Chorus:
I am a prophet
Of the destruction of this city
You couldn't be more pretty
Than when you're weeping in your pain
(The pretty eyes that rain)
I am a dreamer
When you die I will be
Your doctor and redeemer
Like a sadistic healer
I love you when I hurt you
And believe that you are beautiful
When you are...
White lies
I ain't a doctor, ain't no hospital
I ain't a labyrinth, ain't no friend to you
I am a prophet
An oracle of the apocalypse
You couldn't be so beautiful
If you weren't in so much pain
If you didn't feel so much pain
If you weren't crying in your pain
From your pretty eyes insane
