Heavy Smile

[Verse One]
Little china doll hovers high above
Temporary wings, manacles of love
Psychic buttercup, silently she beams
From a gorgeous rage, a progeny of dreams

[Chorus]
Sacred need left you writhing in the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a Heavy Smile

[Verse Two]
Flying mental kites, cripple queen of tears
Orphan satellite, prisoner of fear
Will you go insane, twisting in the wind
Open up a vein and fly

[Chorus]
It's a sacred need, left you writhing in the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a Heavy Smile

[Bridge]
Dancing a shotgun ballet, subpoenaed away
A giggling muse whispered the good news
A collar of pearls, hold on lucky girl
A violet haze, whatever you do, whatever you say

[Chorus]
Sacred need left you writhing in the golden mile
You were born to bleed, and you wear it like a Heavy Smile

[Verse Three]
Tragic butterfly, beauty's not immune
Doubts her gift to fly, still feels the cocoon
Do you dare to dream of a heedless day
Blissful to ignore away

[Chorus]
It's a sacred need, left you writhing in the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a Heavy Smile
