Analysis of Grim Smiles ( Happy Halloween!)



Sack of sweets for that trick or treat
Get you, get you, out with the elite
He has no class, caped bishy bishy boy
Stilletoes of cut glass, pretty pretty toy

With sisters monsterously born
So vain so vain it bodes no good
Say cheese to grace the face of p*rn
It rains, it rains, a torrent  of acid blood

Your grandmother told you what happens
As if anyone ever listens
All those warnings about the midnight sun
And your entrance just had to be fashionably late
Smashed a slipper dripping on poison
Hurry because the Kloxy Klub won't wait

Funeral in the back seat of a taxi
Glimpse the witch crashed in a ditch
Feral image of dark savage sexy
hid a checkered past driving by too fast

You always wonder if the shoe fit
Shojo turned her soul like a phoenix
Bishy crashed when the cinder lit
Piteously crying for his next fix
