Scorpio Rising Lyrics

[ music: John Lombardo & Robert Buck/lyric: Natalie Merchant ]



power 
dizzy with it stumble 
detail 
a chance for us to quarrel 
anger 
my head is shaken violent 

if i could calm or restrain you 
for the sake of pity 
save the pistol 
save the cynics tongue 
save the cool white stare 
and treat me to an honest face sometime 

amaze me now 

trust is 
the greatest human error 
empty 
used me as a vessel 
ruthless 
you're not known for subtlety 

if i could calm or restrain you 
for the sake of pity 
save the pistol 
save the cynic's tongue 
save the cool white stare 
and treat me to an honest face sometime 

amaze me now 

artful 
well there's quite a skill to torture 
half smile 
was it all you could deliver 
token 
so hard to be pleasant 

if you could calm or restrain it 
for the sake of pity 
save the pistol 
save the cynic's tongue 
save the cool white stare 
and treat me to an honest face sometime 

amaze me now
