Wine runs down my chin like the blood of melted film
Inebriation looks so lovely in negatives, don't you know?
I'm addicted to my muse, who just so happens to be me
Doesn't my skin look delicious in the dark room?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Exposés streaked with bullets
Gunfire and bright lights
And roses and valentines
(Screaming with bloodstains)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shutter box your purple-stained irises
Flash you back to the white washed face
Of the clown with bruised eyelids
Another pretentious pose, darling, (pout those lips)
Oh, the camera loves you and the cameraman does too.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Celluloid and cigarettes smeared with blue mascara
I think I deserve a cenotaph for all my whorish genius
Lipstick is smeared across my wineglass and my lens
Doesn't my skin look delicious in the dark room?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Exposés streaked with bullets
Gunfire and bright lights
And roses and valentines
(Screaming with bloodstains)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shutter box your purple-stained irises
Flash you back to the white washed face
Of the clown with bruised eyelids
Another pretentious pose, darling, (pout those lips)
Oh, the camera loves you and the cameraman does too
----------------------------------------------------------------
Exposés streaked with bullets
Gunfire and bright lights
And roses and valentines
Screaming with bloodstains
Screaming with bloodstains
Screaming…
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm addicted to my muse and cigarettes and celluloid
And wine in wineglasses like lens of kaleidoscopes
Be my valentine and my cenotaph to whores
Oh, the camera loves you and the cameraman does too.
