lyrics

So you shed that skin, you were made of
Cuz it didn't belong to you
Spent a summer never swimming
The afternoons in mother's shoes

Let's go down to the party, dear
and take their breath away
Let's go down to the party, dear
and show them what you've made

So you stuck a pin through a flower
and you angled it just so
While your wingtips kissed the marble
and matched your golden tuxedo

Well you fooled all the idiots
with your perfect smile and your parlor tricks
Like the Pied Piper, they all follow
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

To the party dear
you'll take their breath away
Let's go down to the party dear
and show them what you've made

So you cut your hair in the bathroom
Touch of lipstick, touch of rouge
Showed up armed to the teeth in a ballgown
Such a beautiful shade of blue

The coliseum seems so full
When you look up from it's bloody floor
Broken bones, senator's swords
The courtesans could never know
how the wood being piled around your feet
hurts so much more than the fire's heat
Hold your head up high, descend so slow
into the inferno

And the party dear
you'll take their breath away
Let's go down to their party dear
we'll show them what you've made
