Stay Cruel |
| I hadn’t dreamed in years |
| My nights had become lonely jump cuts to morning |
| And then I saw Miracle dance |
| Pulled from my dream by a siren |
| The kind of fantasy I’d spend my life in |
| Where she made me skin my knees at her shrine then |
| She kicked me in the teeth for my crying |
| Hooked me on a leash and then she tied it |
| Tightly to a tree where her little dogs piss |
| On a night like this |
| When a dream of her is ripped away |
| Close my eyes and say |
| «Try to stay cruel for me» |
| (Cruel for you, baby, cruel for you, honey) |
| Just for another minute |
| Try to stay cruel for me |
| (Cruel for you, baby, cruel for you, honey) |
| And though I don’t deserve it |
| Try to stay cruel for me, yeah |
| (Cruel for you, baby, cruel for you, honey) |
| One night, I watched her pulling bits of wig from her braces |
| After she’d cleared all the bills from the stage |
| I nearly approached her then |
| 'Til I saw her face almost grateful in the mirrored wall |
| And I wished it would fall and shatter |
| Tonight I’ll try again |
| Hey, grab the cash I’ve been saving |
| Hobble to the club, start waiting |
| Drink a few to keep my courage from waning |
| She pounces on the pole and starts her flailing |
| I’m soaked in sweat, my chest is aching |
| The metal on her teeth flashes like a beacon, yeah |
| I wave my cash at the stage |
| She smiles, touching my hand |
| I recoil and say, «Huh» |
| Try to stay cruel for me |
| (Cruel for you, baby, cruel for you, honey) |
| Yeah, no smiles, no mercy |
| Try to stay cruel for me, yeah |
| (Cruel for you, baby, cruel for you, honey) |
| Can’t take no more pity, yeah |
| Yeah, you gotta stay cruel |
| (Cruel for you, baby, cruel for you, honey) |
| Yeah, just like when I’m dreaming, huh |
| Try to say something cruel |
| (Cruel for you, baby, cruel for you, honey) |
| Or I’ll be lost, please |
| (You put that cash in my hand, I’ll be cruel for you) |
| I’m ready (Cruel for you, honey) |
| I’m your limping slave, yeah |
| (Come on, you weak little man, I’ll be cruel for you) |
| No kindness, no tenderness, no (Cruel for you, honey) |
| Just cruel |
| (You put that cash in my hand, I’ll be cruel for you) |
| Try to stay cruel, I wanna taste that (Cruel for you, honey) |
| Meanness you sing about, huh |
| (Come on you weak little man, I’ll be cruel for you) |
| Yeah, try to stay cruel for me (Cruel for you, honey) |
| I want your leather, your steel, your heavy heel |
