Rhinestone lyrics

From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)

At the core of the rotten (Stop to just what I thought)

But sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)

And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why did I try)

From the thread to the needle; middle to end

Where skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend

The rain then sends dripping an acidic question

Forcefully; the power of suggestion

Then, with the eyes tightly shut looking through the rust

And rotten dust, a spot of light floods the floor

Pours itself upon the world of pretend

Then the eyes ease open and it's dark again

From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)

At the core of the rotten (Stop to just what I thought)

But sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)

And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why did I try)

In a minute you'll find me

Eyes burn me up...

You say you'll never forget me

But the lies have piled up

Moving all around, swinging of the ups and downs

Pollution manifested in perpetual sound

And as the wheels go 'round, the sunset creeps past the

Street lamps, cars, chainlinks, and concrete

A window then grows, and captures the eye

And cries out a yellow light as it passes it by

A small black figure sits in front of a box

Inside a box of rock with a needles on top

Nothing stops in this land of the chain

When brains lose not knowing they were part of the game

And in the insides grow, the box stays the same in shame

Shovel up the pieces to the pain

You can try to hide yourself in the world of pretend

But when the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)

At the core of the rotten (Stop and just what I thought)

The sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)

And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why I did try)

In a minute you'll find me

Eyes burn me up...

You say you'll never forget me

But the lies have piled up

Yeah I got you caught in the act

You better step back

Telling me that I'm seeing right through you

In a minute you'll find me

Eyes burn me up...

You say you'll never forget me

But the lies have piled up...

(In a minute you'll find me

Eyes burn me up...

You say you'll never forget me

But the lies keep piling up...)
