Scorpio Rising - 10,000 Maniacs

Scorpio Rising Lyrics

Power, dizzy with it stumble
Detail, a chance for us to quarrel
Anger, my head is shaken violent
If I could calm or restrain youFor the sake of pity, save the pistol
Save the cynics tongue
Save the cool white stare
And take me to an honest face sometimeAmaze me nowTrust is the greatest human error
Empty, used me as a vessel
Ruthless, you're not known for subtlety
If I could calm or restrain youFor the sake of pity, save the pistol
Save the cynic's tongue
Save the cool white stare
Take me to an honest face sometimeAmaze me nowArtful, well there's quite a skill to torture
A half smile, was it all you could deliver
Token, so hard to be pleasant
If you could calm or restrain itFor the sake of pity, save the pistol
Save the cynic's tongue
Save the cool white stare

And take me to an honest face sometimeAmaze me nowAmaze me now, now, now
