las vegas eyes

her eyes sparkle dead,
not what you said last night

nothing is at all right here;
nothing at all right here

i am queen of this
charade;
my mask is dull

these lines aren't far enough, or
not white enough, but
it's just medicine, you say
you taste like your pills, or
taste like you're pills

these pills just like your taste.
you're so r o c k - s t a r - s a a v y
make me sick

nothing is at all right
you are b l i n d, love, but
this is not my kingdom
i am far from being the queen
in your throne

i am far out of
my league here

i'm just hiding
in your machine, and

you act like I cannot
hear, but
i can-n-o-t breathe
with you
so far away

i won't ever try to
top this

you have made me
impossible
and imposeable

we are so goddamned expensive,
my dear

but i know
i play this part well


i am queen in this game
