They call her Bulldozer speech demon Without distractions of hope She makes the depression business Look surprisingly novel And she’s not just royal Allegedly loyal Not unfaithful but she has no faith in me Inhale the damage smoothly Paradise isn’t lost It was hiding all along There’s the ones that you love The ones that love you The ones that make you come The ones that make you come unglued I can’t turn my back on you When you are walking away Bottomless celebrity scar Staged circuses for empty schoolgirls Us boys are all dressed up like A mediocre suicide omen Here comes the red carpet grave Again and again and again Oh man There’s the ones that you love The ones that love you The ones that make you come The ones that make you come unglued I can’t turn my back on you When you are walking away It’s easy to beat the system Had a hard time beating the symptoms I can’t turn my back on you When you are walking away I can’t turn my back on you When you are walking away Here comes the red carpet grave Again and again and again Here comes the red carpet grave Again and again and again Oh man
