Story Behind the Song
Hmmm...where to start with this one?
Well, I suppose it's a slightly altered (for the purposes of better rhyming and more interesting lyrics) mirror to this past year in which I've observed a certain individual, although not in the pervy stalker way like the song suggests. Ultimately this woman is outwardly headstrong and confident on the exterior but inside she's this emotional wreck with a crap job and an even worse love life. Despite the promise of the song, I shan't be taking the real person anywhere.
This song was put together in one sleepless night featuring hurriedly recorded backing vocals from Rock (sister Erica Mitchell).
Lyrics
She's got her whole life sorted out
You can see it in her eyes
There's a sense of pride in her confident stride
She knows how to tell her lies
She's tarted up her hair just right
And her ass is the perfect shape
When she goes by the book she gets that serious look
And now I've got it all on tape
You are painful to see
Cuz your utter beauty - it blinds me
So live your life for another day
Yeah, it won't be long until I take you away
You are painful to see
Cuz your utter beauty - it blinds me
So live your life for another day
Yeah, it won't be long until I take you away
Woah...woah
Woah...woah
She's got her head held in her hands
Next to the empty bottle of wine
When the facade is gone, she's not quite as strong
That would change if she was mine
And when she showers, crying alone
Doesn't know that I can see
If she knew I'd regret it cuz she'd be so upset
And never want to spend time with me
You are painful to see
Cuz your utter beauty - it blinds me
So live your life for another day
Yeah, it won't be long until I take you away
You are painful to see
Cuz your utter beauty - it blinds me
So live your life for another day
Yeah, it won't be long until I take you away
Woah...woah
Woah...woah
It's easy to say, but not easy to do
For anyone to love someone the way I love you
And some may call it grotesque, some may call it sick
But I can see my true reasons, you'll always be my pick
And if they try and intervene then they can go to hell
Cuz I'll be waiting all the time, for you my soul I'd sell
So live your life a little more before I come around
From then on life will be fantastic, glorious and profound
Rock...
Ooh, I'll take you away
Ooh, I'll take you away
She's gotta lighten up her heart
Feel a different kind of success
Get her out of this place, put a smile on her face
And I'll take care of the rest
You are painful to see
Cuz your utter beauty - it blinds me
So live your life for another day
Yeah, it won't be long until I take you away
You are painful to see
Cuz your utter beauty - it blinds me
So live your life for another day
Yeah, it won't be long until I take you away...
Woah...woah
Woah...woah...
Ooh, I'll take you away...
You are painful to see
Cuz your utter beauty - it's blinding me
You're blinding me
Oh, you're blinding me
Oh...woah, woah...yeah
Oh yeah...ooh, I'll take you away
Oh, you're blinding me, oh yeah...
