Flesh Mechanic Lyrics - Placebo

He tries to embrace her 

She wants him to race her 

He needs a laser 

To get it through her skull 

Means and lies and hatreds 

Tears that fall in sequence 

Cold caress imprints 

Conversation growing dull 

Says, he's a poet, lousy protozoan 

And he kisses ass for free 

I took a vow of silence 

When he tries to talk to me 

I just turn on the TV

He tries to impress her 

Mentally undress her 

It takes more to possess her 

But in his pocket lies a hole 

He's got a thousand talents 

Charisma by the bagful 

Aristocratic parents 

A rebel with a heart of gold 

Says, he's a poet 

This time, he's gonna blow it 

'Cause he's dancing with his ego 

I took a vow of silence 

When he reads his work to me 

I swallow words like a Placebo 

He's strutting with your flesh mechanic 

Gets him in a panic 

He's wasting time 

'Cause everybody is a star in his eyes 

Photos 

Careful not to give your favors 

To your lonesome fucked-up neighbors 

I had one who sent me her heart 

In a Tupperware container 

All the movies in my head 

They flicker with my bleeding heart 

A careless slipping of the tongue 

On just another private part 

Blatant search for stoned affection 

Fights the rust that breeds infection 

Meet me at the intersection 

Don't forget your fuel injection 

He's strutting with your flesh mechanic 

Gets him in a panic 

He's wasting time 

'Cause everybody is a star in his eyes 

You think this love is bona fide 

You're being taken for a ride 

Wrap your lip around your head 

And slowly blow yourself away
