Lately I'm on my knees bowing to a treasure Clutching youth's beauty, like it is forever Somehow it's clawing me alive from within Taunts me with the fantasy that shamefully I chase Soothes me with the lie that I can buy a pretty face My idols, they lure me I follow, will I ever learn? My idols, they fool me I wallow, will I ever learn? Will I ever learn? Pour me in cloth that's thin, tight as your embrace Flashing as shiny as the moon on Prior Lake Draw me to see the silken life that you awake Could I be at Baal's feet a slave so chained and bound I'll be crawling painfully until I can knock down My idols, they lure me I follow, will I ever learn? My idols, they fool me I'm hollow, will I ever learn? Will I ever learn? They're gonna have to burn Gonna have to burn Gonna have to burn My idols, they lure me I follow, will I ever learn? My idols they lure me Allure me, will I ever learn? Oh, tell me my affection is wasted in deception Fantasy, vanity, you are maimed Oh Harlequin, oh Geisha Don't worship the deceiver
