Your beauty is unstoppable, your confidence unspeakable
I know you know I know you know, that I know that you know
I'm willing to do anything to get attention from you, dear
Even though I don't have anything that I could bargain with

This is like a well-oiled machine
Could I please see that smile again?
It's all that makes me feel like I am living in this world
I see you closing all the doors
I see the walls as they go up
I know it's what you have to do
I'd probably do the same thing, too, my dear

Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye
Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I've got to get away
I don't want to but I have to try, oh baby

You have to play your part, my dear
I've written it all down for you
It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true
Just do it then I'll let you go
Just say the words and say them slowly
I promise I'll tell no one
Yes, I cross my heart and hope to die

Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye
Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I've got to get away
I don't want to but I have to try, oh baby

Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye
Baby, you're where dreams go to die
I've got to get away
I don't want to but I have to try, oh baby
