Rhinestone lyrics

From the top to the bottom 
Bottom to top I stop 
At the core of the rotten 
Stop and just what I thought 
The sun has escaped us 
So I'm bright in the sky 
And I'm far from rapist 
Look at why did try (2x) 

From the thread to the needle, middle to end 
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend 
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions 
Forcefully, the power of suggestion 
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust 
A spot of light floods the floor 
And pours itself upon a world of pretend 
Then the eyes ease open and its dark again 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
In a minute you'll find me 
Eyes burn me up 
You say you'll never forget me 
But the lies have piled up 

Moving all around 
Screaming of the ups and downs 
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound 
And as wheels go round the sunset creeps past the 
Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete 
A wind open grows and captures the eye 
Cry's out yellow light as it passes it by 
A small black figure sits in front of a box 
Inside a box a rock with the needles on top 

Nothing stops in the slanted the chain 
The brains lose not knowing they were part of the game 
And the insides go but the box stays the same 
And shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain 
You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend 
When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again 

Chorus 
Bridge 

Yeah I got you got in the act 
You better step back 
Telling me that 
I seein' right through you (7x) 

Bridge (2x)
