sugarcoat the basic word: we only taste the candy
finally feel the impact when you're gone
the cycle of assimilate regurgitate
we seem more beautiful than it would indicate
waiting for the big kiss
and sometimes we feel exquisite
is it caffeine or earthquakes that make us shake
and break us into obedient fruitcakes
that change hands with no trace of compassion?

i got the move down, self-justify
i got the move down, become myself again
no more sugarcoat, no fancy dancing
no more sugarcoat, the basic word

and the fashion serves as the mascot
for the haves who beat up the have nots
but don't have the dignity to look a human in the eye

feel the touch that hurts so much
it heals your every wound
