Little China doll hovers high above
Temporary wings, manacles of love
Psychic bu*tercup, silently she beams
From a gorgeous rage, a progeny of dreams
It's a sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
Heavy smile
Yeah
Flying mental kites, crippled queen of tears
Orphan satellites, prisoner of fear
Will you go insane, twisting in the wind
Open up a vein and fly
It's a sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
A heavy smile
Yeah
Dancing a shotgun ballet
Subpoenaed away
A giggling muse
Whispers the good news
A collar of pearls
Hold on, lucky girl
A violet haze
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
A heavy smile
Oh, oh, oh
Smile
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy
Tragic bu*terfly, beauty's not immune
Doubts her gift to fly, still feels the cocoon
Do you dare to dream of a heedless day
Blissful to ignore away
It's a sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile
A heavy smile
(Sacred need)
Oh
(Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile)
A heavy smile
(A heavy smile
Sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed)
Smile
(And you wear it like a heavy smile)
You wear it
(A heavy smile)
A heavy smile
(Sacred need)
A heavy smile, a heavy smile
(Left you writhing on the golden mile)
A heavy smile, a heavy smile
(You were born to bleed
And you wear it like a heavy smile)
A heavy smile
(A heavy smile
Sacred need
Left you writhing on the golden mile
You were born to bleed).
