The Country of Love
Standing at the mirror in her laddered pantyhose
A forlorn simper and a bleeding nose
Beside a man is standing in a suit and tie
He's rubbing his knuckles with a piano smile
He says “pills and dildos constipation and lies
Anything goes here it's a wild wild ride
If you want out of the stable you can fucking go
But I'll warn you honey
Let me tell you that I know
When it rains, it snows
When you're alone in the country of love
We got raised wallpaper that is fit to fondle
Heart shaped doorknobs and a thin walled harangue
Hark Hark all of the Renaissance Men
A perfume thick and sticky in the firmament
Donjons, dongers and doppelgängers
I make Don Juan look like a raving faggot
It ain't easy being here but you're working for me
Get your shit together, you'll be living for free
People pay big bucks to lift the skirts of liberty
We take a small percentage
'Cause I know that you love me
In the country of love
When you're alone in the country of love."
