David Bowie – Reptile lyrics
She spreads herself wide open
To let the insects in
She leaves a trail of honey
To show me where she's been
She has the blood of reptile
Just underneath her skin
Seeds from a thousand others
Drip down from within

Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure

Devils speak of the ways
In which she'll manifest
Angels bleed
From the tainted touch of my caress

Need to contaminate
To alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths
I reach are limitless

Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure
