Bad Priestess
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.
When i see you in your new blue jeans
I know you're lying, and i know what it means
When i see you take your place among the poor
I know you're a fraud for sure
Bad priestess, bad priestess
So the sunlight plays its games along your eyes
And it has the same effect on a thousand other guys
And i'd be lying if i said i didn't feel the pull, too
But the sunlight makes me strong and i know about you
Bad priestess
Bad priestess, on a thursday as the sun goes down
Bad priestess, with a super-special eyelash trick
Bad priestess, bad priestess
