Mark Eitzel - The Blood On My Hands lyrics

To maintain a look like this - i spent many happy hours On my face and my nails and my hair You see I believe that beauty is like a secret power Like love it don't play fair The blood on my hands The timeless treasure The blood on my hands Makes me weaker than water You don't know it but were moving in a dance My beaded slippers brushing the floor At my glory your afraid to even glance Its like the shadow that falls across your door The blood on my hands A blessing beyond measure The blood on my hands Makes me weaker than water I keep my life in a seashell box With my knife and my pictures and my pills My friends maybelline and max know All about the truth It can set you free - but it also k**s So take your courage and let me be Is a gutless grin all you brought My beauty is bound for eternity While your guts are just destined to rot The blood on my hands Such a princely pleasure The blood on my hands Makes me weaker than water The blood on my hands Ripples on a golden river The blood on my hands Makes me weaker than water
