Penny Arcades

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mouthing obscenities that cut like a knife That's chosen for surgery, to rub out a life And slice off the finger-tips, the planes of your face As another identity sinks without trace [Verse 2] Into the cave of your features, the bridge and the jaw You map out and calculate the width of a yawn As the ugliest picture falls flat on the shelf Strive for perfection, do away with yourself [Chorus] And the eyes of a sinner will scratch and erase As you walk like a winner through thе penny arcades [Verse 3] From out of the watеr another one comes The heart is a bubble that beats like a drum The skin is an eggshell, a shiny blank space This pen's full of ink now, to draw you a face [Chorus] And the eyes of a sinner will scratch and erase As you walk like a winner through the penny arcades As you walk like a winner through the penny arcades
