lyrics
Behind the Makeup
If I look behind the makeup
Tell me what I’ll find
Flailing fists and housing lists
You‘ve got to leave behind
Tip-toe
Down the stairs
You leave a note
But no one cares
Waving your life goodbye
When they look behind the make up
They often hit a wall
It takes a certain kind of dog
To understand the call
The cycle
begins again
a magnet for
repellent men
Waving your life goodbye
Kids in pyjamas
Carried out a search
They first heard of heaven
Crying in an a mostly empty church
When they scrubbed off all the makeup
They found the girl had gone
Anything she’d ever been
Had been hidden for so long
Smashed by
The hand of fate
Her reconstruction
Comes too late
Waving your life goodbye
