Pirouette

by Tall Dwarfs

on Weeville (1990)

You're right, you ride
Over bodies that have recently died
They lie, you fly
Over feelings that you've kept inside
You grin, you're in
With all the social skills you've used to win
You spin your limbs
You pirouette through all the shit you're in

They smile, meanwhile
They take your money and they take your style
They're sly, they're vile
You wonder how you live outside their guile
Hey you, yes you
You're only useful while you're spanking new
They'll screw you too
They're better at it boy, they're better than you

You see, like me
You're so naive to think that anyone's free
You'll be the dream
Of any arsehole with a slogan to scream
So leave me be
And lurch away into your misery
You're history
And you have nothing that amuses me

You're right, you ride
Over bodies that have recently died
They lie, you fly
Over feelings that you've left inside
You win, you're in
With all the social skills you've used to win
You spin your limbs
You pirouette through all the shit you're in

They smile, meanwhile
They take your money and they take your style
They're sly, they're vile
You wonder how you live outside their guile
Hey you, yes you
You're only useful while you're spanking new
They'll screw you too
They're better at it boy, they know how to screw

You see, like me
You're so naive to think that anyone's free
You'll be the dream
Of any arsehole with a slogan to scream
So leave me be
And lurch away into your misery
You're history
And you have nothing that amuses me
