Scornocopia - Chemlab

Your rough beauty catches my breath

Trashed flashed and too much make-up

Spiked-heeled sky-scraped

But baby you got some guts

With your toothy grin around your gun

What did you say?

Wanna die young, die young

That’s what you said

That’s what you did

You’re such a cliché

Behind your mirrored shades

Well it’s been no laugh

In your oxygen mask

You suffer your last gasp

Strapped in

Draining

The stuttering light fades at last

With your burned-out

Country club superstar looks

As the rock cooks

Cocktail hour smile collapse

Slack-jawed black-eyed excess

Yeah baby you’re a total knock-out

Remember what you said to me?

Scraping the gutter

For hard-ons and hardwire

In the guitar lazy night
