Charm

i live with the snakes
and lizards and ugly
things that go bump
in the night

why should i wonder?
when everyone is to blame
i feel the charm
drip outta me
and leave me standing
here in the rain

thigh-highs and
sugar daddies
are the only things
that get me off
in the night

why should i bother?
when everything's so insane
i feel the charm
drip outta me
it never leaves me
playing the game

and i say
who's to blame?
i try to walk forward
but i fall back down again

two to one were
the odds that i chose
but i was left
in the dirt
by the gods up above

why should i grovel?
when everyone drinks champagne
i feel the charm
drip outta me
it never leaves me
playing the game

so i say
who¹s to blame?
i'm walking to the left
then the right
then i fall back down again
and i hope that i swerve
i'll be straightening
to my feet
and i know that if you go
you'll be coming
right back to me
