He who knows the truth
dirty boys with dirty secrets
monsters that crawl into bed from below
and he feels so cold,
how did he get so cold?
no one will ever know
that you saw him naked
no one will ever dream
your vision in red
but will you lay your skeleton hands
upon my zombie flesh?
sinew
sinew
and if you look real close
you can see the cracks
on his face, on his arms
on his chest, on his legs
he shrouds himself in smoke and mirrors
cracking disco ball dreams
watch him shatter on the dancefloor
sweep him up, sweep him under the rug
sweep him under the rug, sweep him...
no one will ever know
that you saw him naked
no one will ever dream
your vision in red
but will you lay your skeleton hands
upon my zombie flesh?
sinew
sinew
and you can say you knew him when
you'll never see his pretty face again
and you can say you knew him when
sinew
sinew
sinew.
