Sweet Smell of Success by Tomahawk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got to be the one
Smile of porcelain
Bullet holes in your tongue
Plexiglass bones
Dough of angel's breath
The eyes of a mannequin
Put on a hell of a show
[Chorus 1]
Solid gold
Fresh young face
Queen of a lovely place
Cynical life
Wash your face
Trying to make it better
[Bridge]
And we've heard this song before
And the needle skips again
Playing dominoes with tombstones
Found a graveyard in your drawer
Go and get yourself buried
'Cause your dead, you're dead, you're dead, you're dead
[Verse 2]
You're skin melts in wax
Woven silk eyelids
The arms of somnambulist
You got your moneys worth
Soul hangs in the closet
Paper-mache heart
Put on a hell of a show
[Chorus 2]
Solid gold
Your hate crime
Wasn't loving me
Cynical life
Wash your face
Trying to make it better
[Outro]
And we'll never make it better
And we'll never make it better
You've got to be the one
Smile of porcelain
Bullet holes in your tongue
Plexiglass bones
Dough of angel's breath
The eyes of a mannequin
Put on a hell of a show
[Chorus 1]
Solid gold
Fresh young face
Queen of a lovely place
Cynical life
Wash your face
Trying to make it better
[Bridge]
And we've heard this song before
And the needle skips again
Playing dominoes with tombstones
Found a graveyard in your drawer
Go and get yourself buried
'Cause your dead, you're dead, you're dead, you're dead
[Verse 2]
You're skin melts in wax
Woven silk eyelids
The arms of somnambulist
You got your moneys worth
Soul hangs in the closet
Paper-mache heart
Put on a hell of a show
[Chorus 2]
Solid gold
Your hate crime
Wasn't loving me
Cynical life
Wash your face
Trying to make it better
[Outro]
And we'll never make it better
And we'll never make it better
