Perverse Lyrics

verse (Original Demo)

I've got this mirror
that I look in sometimes
just to see what you see
just to see what scares you when you look at me
I know you like it
yeah, I know you love it
Even though it shakes you
Even as you scream that I'm no good...

'cause I'm perverse
clean in reverse and it feels good
yeah I'm perverse
it could be worse, I could be like you

You're slipping under
a wicked spell of boredom
tired of all those morals
tired of all those rules that you repeat
I know you hate it
yeah, I know you loathe it
Even though you preach it
Even as you snitch me out to God...
'cause I'm perverse
clean in reverse and it feels good
yeah I'm perverse
it could be worse, I could be like you
It's true that I think some unthinkable thoughts
I live without fear - I don't care if I'm caught
I don't live under your blanket of rules
soft fabric for control of a bed full of fools
sleeping and snoring your short life away
oblivious to anything that's not your way
so open your book, recite your prayer
you can live without challenge, but I'm taking the dare

'cause I'm perverse
clean in reverse and it feels good
yeah I'm perverse
it could be worse, I could be like you
