Marc Almond - Patron Saint Of Lipstick lyrics

He'll put on red lipstick No matter the neighbours Gender wars and hostile Graffiti in corridors And sit by the window The river down below Oh mother, he's lonely As a saint of travesty He wears a blue halo For his fraternity Oh mother, he's lonely As a saint of travesty He walks by the river His lipstick a pointer To raising the dead In an East side cemetery He goes out at night His light like a star Putting diamonds on fingers Of the broken and poor Oh mother, he's lonely As a saint of travety He wears a blue halo For his fraternity His friends have nyloned toes In silver stilettos And dance to a mirror In sequins and glitter Oh mother, he's lonely As a saint of travesty Handing out red roses In a ruined cemetery He'll put on red lipstick And go out after dark Through the foggy park And come home at dawn Oh mother, he's lonely As a saint of travesty He sits by the window Drinking tea with his shadow A leopard skin coat Draped over his shoulders Oh mother, he's lonely As a saint of travesty Watching fog on the river Creates a white halo
