The Lament of Pretty Baby

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw something I was not supposed to see A ghostly memory that keeps on haunting me The kitchen door was open a crack So naively, we peeked inside [Chorus] Oh, darling sister, have they hurt you? Have they hurt you? Uh-huh Oh, Pretty Baby, they won't touch you They won't touch you again We will fix this incident [Verse 2] I don't want to be seen as a pretty thing 'Cause it's the pretty things That we're always breaking And now she whispers into the mirror, "I'm broken" [Chorus] Oh doctor, doctor, can you fix me? Can you fix me? Uh-huh Oh, Pretty Baby, you're so naive But it comes off so cute We don't want to fix you [Bridge] We love you just the way you are The butterfly pinned to the page The nightingale locked in the cage Won't you sing for me? Sing for me, uh-huh Yeah, we love you just the way you are Crushed 'neath fashion magazines Trampled by circus pony dreams Won't you kiss me? Won't you kiss me? Uh-huh [Chorus] Oh please, mister, can't you fix me? Can't you fix me? Uh-huh Someone, anyone, won't you fix me? Won't you fix me? Uh-huh Oh, someone, please, the moon has raped me I can feel it inside me Oh, mama, please let someone fix me Let them fix me, uh-huh Let them fix me, uh-huh [Outro] So cry yourself to sleep Cry yourself to sleep I am strong, and you are weak Wait, you are strong, and I am weak Fuck, just cry yourself to sleep, uh-huh
