PRETTY

Coffee and sex, cheap cigarettes
My little fantasy, yeah, you and me
We'd never get cinema love fit like a glove
You hold me carefully and marry me, white picket fence

But dreams are dreams
The sweetest whispers turn to screams
Meet me at the guillotine
As they put the blade down
Say: I love you, face down

Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
Told me what you wanna give me
But it's better just to let you miss me
I gotta say goodbye, 'ye
Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty

Can't wash out the bitter taste
Or numb it out with Novocaine
Made me cry, mascara stains
Right before I went on stage
Swear we're rotten to the core
You call me, wake me up at four
You say you love me, love me more
Same breath calling me a whore

Kiss me goodbye when you tie the noose
Those violent eyes give me déjà vu
You'd rather die than let me loose
So I'll cut the rope for you

Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
Told me what you wanna give me
But it's better just to let you miss me
I gotta say goodbye, 'ye
Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty

Dreams are dreams, the sweetest whispers
Turn to screams, meet me at the
Guillotine, as they put the blade down
Say: I love you, face down
(Kiss me goodbye while you tie the noose, the noose, the noose, ah-ah)
(You'd rather die than let me loose, me loose, me loose, ah-ah)

Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
Told me what you wanna give me
But it's better just to let you miss me
I gotta say goodbye, 'ye
Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
