Live To Tell

Anyone can become a lawyer

If they pass the bar

Incoming swells of soft paranoia

Only lets you dream that far



Marjorie and Lou-Ellen the lost

Were marjonal as well

They've added up and deducted their losses

Earned the rights to kill and tell



Look at you now Mother Martha and Sonya-the-trip

Guard their histories well

They're trading up from Halstons to

Harleys, Chanel to a burning leather smell



Listen up if you can hear me

There ain't no point to dwell

If I still stand where the earth

Tried to swallow, I hope you wait for me to live to tell



Look at you now, all done up and set to dismember

Severe nostalgia and upset to remember

This brilliant mess, this complex entangle

Livin' to tell, livin' to tell, livin' to tell
