Poor Napoleon |
| I cant lie on this bed anymore it burns my skin |
| You can take the truthful things youve said to me And put them on the head of a pin |
| Poor napoleon |
| You always look so disappointed when I take my stockings off |
| Dont you know the facts of life, boy |
| Dont you know what these things cost |
| She was selling stolen kisses to travelling salesmen and minstrel singers |
| You put a penny in the slot |
| She called you her magic fingers |
| Poor napoleon |
| I bet she isnt all thats advertised |
| I bet that isnt all she fakes |
| Just like that place where they take your spine |
| And turn it into soapflakes |
| So good night little school boy, youd better learn some self control |
| Did you mess up your hairstyle, pour scorn in your begging bowl |
| Bare wires from the socket to the bed where you embraced that girl |
| Did you ever think theres far too many people in the world? |
| One day theyll probably make a movie out of all of this |
| There wont even have to be a murder just a slow dissolving kiss |
