Donkeys - Lyrics by Manic Street Preachers


Lyrics
(
Music: James Dean Bradfield/
Sean Moore; Lyrics: Nicky Wire/
Richey James)
Put some lipstick on
At least your lies will be pretty
A shadow on my face
And us donkeys wake up weary
Sweating and sickly
Donkey's don't allow their tears
No emotion never feel
And drown themselves in whatever
Find some meaning
Donkeys weight cracking a spire
Sweetness bent double
Whole days making polite
Never moving out of turn
Or ever trying to be natural
Those with silence inside
Eyes bare piss holes in the snow
Drained and burnt yellow
And sunk in self-pity
Jerusalem saw off
Donkeys are only left with lies
Are only left with lies(c) 1993 Sony Music Publishing Ltd.
