Lyrics

Can’t Take It
Written by Dale Thompson

An eloquent charm in decay anorexic and
grotesque vascular yet you promenade
of the run way Flashbulbs penetrate
bone and skin all of your glamour is on display
but not your veil of tears

No eye contact with the hordes of cameras
but the parasites won't go away

You are a mystery in a conundrum scattered ashes on a grave and in time you will be forgotten

Embarrassed by the blood dirt under your fingernails

You can’t take it (x3)
Probably because you are doomed.
You can’t take it (x3)
You can’t take it with you.

You move with purpose for the
exit still with a dazzling smile painted on your face,
old temptations will come to drag you away
Escape is so close but you let it slip away

He will say you only have yourself to blame You are walking on the rim of night.

The only god you've ever known, your prison cell

Back into seclusion into your prison cell as you squeeze the bars of gold embarrassed by the dirt under your fingernails All your prayers have been answered, you've asked for all the wrong things

The only god you've ever known will say you only have yourself to blame You are walking on the rim of night.
When you allow your stardom to grow brighter than your star your star shall fade
