Lyrics Voltaire – Dead Girls

I have been in this line of work for a long time
And I have never seen anything so strange
It’s so peculiar
It’s all so deranged

Dead girls like me, oh
Dead girls like me
Can’t you see?

I don’t expect you to understand me
I am not an ordinary man
And I have seen things with these eyes
You’d never comprehend
See for yourself now
Take those living women
They have never shown me any kindness of any kind
It’s not my fault I look this way
I try to talk to them
They look at me
They walk away
So, really, is it so strange that

Dead girls like me
Can’t you see?

Have you ever tasted love like this?
Cool and smooth
And have you ever been accepted unconditionally?
Have you ever loved someone
Who didn’t hurt you
Didn’t harm you?

There’s no pain and there’s no pressure
No verbal humiliation
There’s no fear
There’s no shame
There’s no pulse, so is it so strange?

Dead girls like me
Can’t you see?
Only dead girls like me, oh
Dead girls like me
Can’t you see?
Only dead girls don’t walk away from me
Sad as it seems
