lyrics

In this hall of mirrors I can change myself so I’m no longer me | Face melts sideways eyeballs bulging upwards and ridiculous rotundity | Comforting cos I’m no longer here | See ya s-see ya wouldn’t wanna be ya | Face that handsome man | You can’t understand

got to bring me down | Don’t wanna look around | Snap! You cry and you run the river dry | And now you’ll take a vacuum cleaner to your thigh | And while you’re at it extract some of what lies beneath | and feed until you become a living lie | make me beautiful make me something else please | make me fake stiff and ill however happy | make me Frankenstein | make me Victor please

Make me a monster | Me myself and I shall go bye-bye | Make me a monster but don’t ask why | Make me a monster | I’ll see the world through these synthetic eyes | Make me a monster but don’t ask why

What’s that in the mirror? | Now you see it clearer

Ever seen a magician saw a girl in two? | They’ll do exactly the same kind of thing to you | That is the plan | Then dance at this masquerade for the rest of your days | Mask on your face and regret in hand | But still | Comforting ‘cos you’re no longer here | See ya s-see ya wouldn’t wanna be ya | Where’s that handsome man? | Now you understand
