by the one who says she needs you
above all other men
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
her father did his duty
and I lie down betrayed
Justice taught her confidence
her mother was like steel
her cousins, they're all convicts
she alone rose above that wheel
But a motorcyclist no matter how good
is slave to the oncoming truck
and the poison of her father was
her most pitiless luck
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
by the one who says she needs you
above all other men
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
her father did his duty
and I lie down betrayed
Three of us lie in this bed
night of infamy
one of us lies on our back
her father's in her head
And quick she turns and slaps my face
and with her eyes open wide she screams
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
but she's looking right past me
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
by the one who says that she needs you
above all other men
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
her father did his duty
and I lie down betrayed
And I lie down betrayed
I lie down betrayed
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you by the one who says she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed Justice taught her confidence her mother was like steel her cousins, they're all convicts she alone rose above that wheel But a motorcyclist no matter how good is slave to the oncoming truck and the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck Betrayed by the one who says she loves you by the one who says she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed Three of us lie in this bed night of infamy one of us lies on our back her father's in her head And quick she turns and slaps my face and with her eyes open wide she screams I hate you, I hate you, I hate you but she's looking right past me Betrayed by the one who says she loves you by the one who says that she needs you above all other men Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed And I lie down betrayed I lie down betrayed Explain Request ×
