lyrics

Silver scalpels dancing on your skin. They cut away your flaws again. Baby, isn’t that exciting. I can turn you black and blue. When I see you in a wishing well, throwing pennies all around your self. When I see you fall under a spell, I’m in control and you’re a ghost in a shell. Now there’s poachers in the jungle and their rifles fill the tress with thunder. And you’re game to every hunter and they’ll turn you black and blue. When I see you in a wishing well, throwing pennies all around your self. When I see you fall under a spell, I’m in control and you’re a ghost in a shell. Try to get away from me. I’m not done with you.
