Pretty (In a Pretty Sort of Way) Songtext

von Slow Gherkin

Take me where no lights shine in your room
Take me where the cider tastes like perfume
YOUR LOOK IS LAUGHABLE
SO PORNOGRAPHABLE
That's a place where nobody goes
Take me where the train jumps the track
Take me where your eyes become black holes
In the reflection of
Your lonely section of the train haunted by your own ghost

You're so busy, I'd hate to interupt you
But you're so precious, I'd love to corrupt you
There's something odd about you, what it is I couldn't say
You're just pretty in a pretty sort of way

Only satisfied when you suffer
Make a stone of your heart, break another
Do you seek happiness
A feather-in-your-cappiness
Only satisfied when you cry
Strike out on your self-righteous mission
But your only God's repetition
And if you missed this one
There's more where that came from
But someday you'll run out of nights

I'm so jaded, I didn't want to ask you
I've passed the point of holding anything past you
There's something odd about you, what it is I couldn't say
You're just pretty in a pretty sort of way

I can't believe anyone could be
So careless and not get caught
I'll sit and count until your luck runs out
You're going to fall so hard and I just want to watch

On and on but why'd you go and leave me?

There's something odd about you, what it is I couldn't say
You're just pretty in a pretty sort of way
