starting to come to me

it's started to come to me

your new career would probably end like this

all that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss

farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts

the overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter

mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr

well it's starting to come to me

starting to come to me

so you began to recognize the well-dressed man that everybody loves

it started when you chopped off all the fingers of those pony skin gloves

then you cut a hole out where the lovelight used to shine

your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine

you try to laugh it off saying i knew all the time. but it's starting to come to me"
