Scorpio Rising lyrics

[ music: John Lombardo & Robert Buck/lyric: Natalie Merchant ]
power
dizzy with it stumble
detail
a chance for us to quarrel
anger
my head is shaken violent
if i could calm or restrain you
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynics tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
amaze me now
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 the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
amaze me now
artful
well there's quite a skill to torture
half smile
was it all you could deliver
token
so hard to be pleasant
if you could calm or restrain it
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynic's tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
amaze me now
