Princess in rags (the cult)

Lost in the desert of dreams
Follow the footsteps you know
Somewhere that you’ve never been
And maybe you shouldn’t know
Some wait to betray all our trust
We struggle to hide our disgust
Just like a thief they will take
And every heart they will break
Just like a princess in rags
Now you have come down beyond belief
Lost in the nightmare that you always keep
Oh, yeah

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don’t know what he’s put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won’t let go

Looking for somewhere to fall
People not foolish would go
But on their knees they will crawl
You’d think that they’d really know
And when they’re alone on the street
They talk to strangers they meet
Telling them stories again
Leaving out all of the shame
It can be easy to hurt
When you think there’s something you must prove
Who dealt the cards out, ’cause you’re bound to lose
Oh, yeah

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don’t know what he’s put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won’t let go

Innocence is pushed away
The queen of hearts will say farewell
She don’t know she’s gone astray
But no one’s seen her, who can tell?
So what’s happened to the place?
The gun is loaded, what’s the game?
Someone must have closed the gates
And called her by some other name

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don’t know what he’s put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won’t let go

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don’t know what he’s put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won’t let go
