lyrics

Goddess tucked her wings under the bed
And left the west behind her with a bandage on her hand
Suicide, so difficult to hide
Expose yourself to friends and they will eat you alive
So paint your face and recreate
You know there’s no more tears to wipe

Goddess wants a boy to love
Because men are seldom single
She wants the AM to herself
And a chocolate on her pillow
Goddess wants a boy to love
So she can mix and mingle
While we spin ourselves like carousels
In rings around her finger
Still dizzy from the chance to be inside

Goddess has a secret to confess
That it’s always your first love that sets the tone for all the rest
You can try, but you cannot deny
There’s something deep inside of her that you’ll never possess
Still we walk and walk for miles
And fake our smiles while kissing her goodbye

She kept her altar well-disguised
And laid out all of us there under the knife
And we all woke alone with stars still in our eyes
Still dizzy from the chance to be inside
