Prélude Pathétique (Marry The Night Intro)

When I look back on my life

It's not that I don't want to see things exactly as they happened

It's just that I prefer to remember them in an artistic way

And truthfully, the lie of it all is much more honest

Because I invented it

Clinical psychology tells us, arguably, that trauma is the ultimate killer

Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics

They can be lost forever

It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting

And as the artist of that painting

I must fill in all the ugly holes

And make it beautiful again

It's not that I've been dishonest

It's just that I loathe reality

For example, those nurses

They're wearing next season Calvin Klein

And so am I

And the shoes, custom Giuseppe Zanotti

I tipped their gauze caps to the side like parisian berets

Because I think it's romantic

And I also believe that mint will be very big in fashion next spring

Check out this nurse on the right

She's got a great ass

Bam

The truth is, back then at the clinic

They only wore those funny hats to keep the blood out of their hair

And that girl on the left

She ordered gummy bears and a knife a couple of hours ago

They only gave her the gummy bears

I'd wished they'd only given me the gummy bears
