Lyrics
Now We Must Face Each Other
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why must you turn everything beautiful ugly
And anything ugly so hideous
Why would you put your freedom above me
When you know it leaves nothing between us
Have you discovered a new discipline
At last within your reach
Is your cure a bed and a woman
Or do you prefer to be bled by a leach
Why would you trade your silver for base tokens
And your tokens for cheap carnival rides
Why would you leave a desire unspoken
When there are so many worthless things to hide
Will you dissolve your new snowflake
On the tip of your yellow tongue
Or will she stumble out of a cake
To be eaten by your thumb
Why must you always search for a vacancy
In every hotel life you brush against
Why must the faithless trumpet their decency
From a plateau of intolerance
Will you ever tire of digesting the flesh
Long enough to investigate the soul
Or are you like the amnesiac goldfish
Always surprised to find yourself in a bowl
