VERSE 1:
{Silence}
Bring your best brains and your dead girl shoes
Cigarette changed, dressed in greens and blues
Leave your sick boy and his skinny friends
Suck the life from all those burlesque bends
Bring peaches and a Kalaida-phone

Play chopsticks on my guitar
Drive backwards in your one wheeled car
