I hadn’t dreamed in years My nights had become lonely jump-cuts to morning Then I saw Miracle dance Pulled from my dream by a siren The kind of fantasy I’d spend my life in Where she made me skin my knees at her shrine then She kicked me in the teeth for my crying Hooked me on a leash and then she tied it Tightly to a tree where her little dogs piss On a night like this When a dream of her is ripped away I close my eyes and say Try to stay cruel for me (Cruel for you, baby) (Cruel for you, honey) Just for another minute Try to stay cruel for me (Cruel for you, baby) (Cruel for you, honey) Though I don’t deserve it Try to stay cruel for me (Cruel for you, baby) (Cruel for you, honey) Letras de canciones One night, I watched her pulling bits of wig from her braces After she’d cleared all the bills from the stage I nearly approached her then until I saw her face Almost grateful, in the mirrored-wall And I wished it would fall and shatter Tonight I’ll try again Grab the cash I’ve been saving Hobble to the club and start waiting Drink a few to keep my courage from waning As she pounces on the pole and starts her flailing I’m soaked in sweat, my chest is aching The metal on her teeth flashes like a beacon I wave my cash at the stage She smiles, touching my hand I recoil and say Try to stay cruel for me (Cruel for you, baby) (Cruel for you, honey) No smiles, no mercy Try to stay cruel for me (Cruel for you, baby) (Cruel for you, honey) Can’t take no more pity You gotta stay cruel (Cruel for you, baby) (Cruel for you, honey) Just like when I’m dreaming Try to say something cruel (Cruel for you, baby) (Cruel for you, honey) Or I’ll be lost Please (You put that cash in my hand I’ll be cruel for you) (Cruel for you, honey) I’m ready I’m your limping slave (Come on you weak little man I’ll be cruel for you) (Cruel for you, honey) No kindness, no tenderness, no Just cruel (You put that cash in my hand I’ll be cruel for you) Try to stay cruel (Cruel for you, honey) I want to taste that meanness you sing about (Come on you weak little man, I’ll be cruel for you)\ Try to stay cruel for me (Cruel for you, honey) I want your leather, your steel, your heavy heel From Letras Mania
