lyrics

Tabloid feeling steals your sigh
While the Baron enjoys the piste
Network news worship sensation
As we serenade the Z list
 
Ice cream delusion shattered
As she dances on another bar
Scarecrows thieve her youth
As she glides down another Vodka
 
So high above us all
She dances between a teacher and a child
Set loose by the hands of a priest
She’d forgo that freedom to be wild
 
Print the atom, split the word
News cannibals feed on your soul
You protest too much
But the mighty press still rolls
 
Feeling so, so much cleaner
We waltz through the trees
A pretty debutante straightens her gown
As she falls to her knees                                
 
So high above us all
She dances between a teacher and a child
Set loose by the hands of a priest
She’d forgo that freedom to be wild
 
Intellectual magazines manage the drug
And we spin without an action
Oh, we type a sentence sharper
Probing for a reaction
 
Angry relatives storm the palace
Laughing and safe on high
As Baron kisses his flawless mistress
Smiling down content on the masses
 
So high above us all
She dances between a teacher and a child
Set loose by the hands of a priest
She’d forgo that freedom to be wild
