Trials of Eyeliner |
| Eyeliner saved your life |
| Playing up the vamp |
| You were applying mystery |
| Setting yourself free |
| Bitten nails down to the quick |
| Black nail varnish painted thick |
| You were tortured martyr, St. Divine |
| For playboys who wanted to shine |
| Father viewed you with your eyes of black |
| Responded with a violent slap |
| Said you made him feel ashames |
| Get out and don’t come back |
| Trials of eyeliner |
| Styles of eyeliner |
| Went to Soho worked the clips |
| Met sailors on leave from ships |
| Mascara gave you deep allure |
| Of your sex they couldn’t be sure |
| They were falling in love with you |
| Falling in love with yourself |
| And in the dim light of the basement |
| They didn’t care enough |
| The 70's came to an end |
| Eyeliner still your dearest friend |
| From teen to glam to punk |
| And then |
| The disco age redefined men |
| You became one of a crowd |
| Your song drowned out when the music was to loud |
| But you stood your ground as a child of passion |
| As decades changed along with fashions |
| Trials of eyeliner |
| In 1980's New York town |
| Where leather boys could all be found |
| You tried to get into their clubs |
| But the doorman gave you quite a snub |
| Pointed to a sign above the door |
| Only denim and leather to be worn |
| Far too much black eyeliner dear |
| Not a chance of coming in here |
| You were true to yourself |
| Never fell out of love with yourself |
| But in the darkest corners of the world |
| They didn’t care enough |
| But in the darkest corners of the world |
| They didn’t care enough |
| Trials of eyeliner |
| Trials of eyeliner |
| Trials of eyeliner |
| Trials of eyeliner |
| They didn’t care enough |
| Trials of eyeliner |
| (Repeat to fade) |
