Fling

Take off the makeup, it keeps me from seeing you
Tied under bandage, the blood is leaking through
Adjust the tourniquet, it keeps your nose in place
You're needed for bruisin', the rock star's for camera gaze

Your stomach's healthy, but it won't keep anything
They keep you alive with hospital machines
I take all the cancer and split personalities
You're beautiful because of your abnormalities

Write out a book about all you've seen and done
Write out a novel for all the fans that know your song
Sing songs that don't exist for the shy one in the crowd
Lеt him be your [?], to your underground

Send mе a postcard, compete with my packages
Pick up a phone card despite all the hemorrhages
I'd take the cancer and the split personalities
You're beautiful because of your abnormalities

Saw you on TV, you looked healthy other
And a [?] taking to [?]
We don't understand why we get cast aside
New episode, I barely noticed the lie

When you’re in the hospital, with your broken body
Please don't hesitate or be scared to call
I met you before I knew your [?] ploy
But it wasn't the act, it was you that I enjoyed
