Cthen I'm as smEm9ooth as the skin rolls across the small of your back
It's Dtoo bad it's not my style

dressed in a fashDion that's fitting to the
Cinconsistencys of my moods
It's Em9timeDs like Cthese where silence means everything
And Cno one is to know about this
It's Em9timeDs like Cthese where silence means everything
And Cno onEm9e is to know about this

It's a campaign Dof distraction
and reCvisionist history, oh
