Simon Joyner - Now We Must Face Each Other lyrics

Why must you turn everything beautiful ugly And anything ugly so hideous? Why would you put your freedom above me When you know it leaves nothing between us? Have you discovered a new discipline At last within your reach? Is your cure a bed and a woman Or do you prefer to be bled by a leach? Why would you trade your silver for bra** tokens And your tokens for cheap carnival rides? Why would you leave a desire unspoken When there are so many worthless things to hide? Will you dissolve your new snowflake On the tip of your yellow tongue Or will she stumble out of a cake To be eaten by your thumb? Why must you always search for a vacancy In every hotel life you brush up against? Why must the faithless trumpet their decency From a plateau of intolerance? Will you ever tire of digesting the flesh Long enough to investigate the soul? Or are you like the amnesiac goldfish Always surprised to find yourself in a bowl?
