I. Too many small hours pimped out to wraiths on parade– Heart, in real time, breaks.
II. Make me an offer, they shoot pretty girls, don’t they? Leave haunting to me.
III. Baby, forget the petals, we’ll feed you thorns, you’ll be like Jesus Christ in black tights, a superstar in dark eye shadow, Joan of Arc with your own pop-branded stigmata, the world will adore you– What do you say? Will you sign? Sure, sure, blood is fine.
