Natalie Merchant - Scorpio Rising lyrics

[Verse 1:] Power, dizzy with it stumble Detail, a chance for us to quarrel Anger, my head is shaken violent [Chorus 1:] If i could calm or restrain you For the sake of pity Save the pistol Save the cynic's tongue Save the cool white stare Treat me to an honest face sometime [Chorus 2:] Amaze me now! [Verse 2:] Trust is the greatest human error Empty, used me as a vessel Ruthless, you're not known for subtlety If i could calm or restrain you For the sake of pity Save the pistol Save the cynic's tongue Save that cool white stare And treat me to an honest face sometime [Chorus 2] [Verse 3:] Artful, there's quite a sk** to torture Half smile, was it all you could deliver? Token, so hard to be pleasant [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
