Kelly X
January 2, 2007Scott Downes No Comments »Who’s picture perfect til you look the other way
Who claims you’re lying when you don’t know what to say
Tells strangers secrets she says you’re aren’t allowed to share
Whose stories tangle like the tangles of her hair
It’s Kelly X, Kelly X
Kelly X, Kelly X
Your blood’s developed some resistance to her charm
But there’s no research to suggest what dose may do you harm
You knew her long before the pills could take effect
You’ve seen the places that the mirror now refuses to reflect
On Kelly X, Kelly X
Kelly X, Kelly X
She’s late again, you must pretend that you don’t care
She’s faithful only to a law she knows she doesn’t have to share
Just like that symbol that she painted on your bed
In some ancient language spells a warning that you really should have read
About Kelly X, Kelly X
Kelly X, Kelly X
Pleasure is a sweet disguise
You keep the beat and call it exercise
You won’t believe your own two eyes
That poison comes in such a tiny size
The words you wish you could have said still float like dandelion hair
You think you see her when you know that she can’t possibly be there
You can tell yourself you chose to play this game
Still you can’t bring yourself to call her by her real name
Just Kelly X, Kelly X
Kelly X, Kelly X
Pleasure is a sweet disguise
You keep the beat and call it exercise
You won’t believe your own two eyes
That poison comes in such a tiny size
