Avoid her Eyes
Avoid her Eyes
Princess, high on the shelf
with nothing left to gain
Princess, up on the shelf
my prescription for pain
avoid her eyes
ones that mesmerize
gorgeous kind
ones that lie
Princess, high on the shelf
head above the shame
Little princess, whimpering for help
tell me, who's to blame
Pretty girl, oh
dirty little bitch
such a crazy, complicated
mixed up, lustful little witch
We're emotionally compatible
sexually interchangable, a
A yearning disease, kind of
natural born killer with fleas
Princess high on the shelf
with nothing left to gain
Princess those who've knelt
tell me, who's to blame
Stealer of the heart
Stealer near or far
Stealer of my pride
little princess, took me for a ride
Always one angel, in the room
nobody knows
That's her over there
a star, among stars
If you can avoid, those
wicked eyes of nowhere

I like it. Can't be bothered with crit, so I'll just hand out ideas for the music.
This is a dirty song, a dirty song deserves a dirty tune. Gravelly guitar, sinister bass, alot of cymbal work with the drums.

thanks, T.W. , i like your thoughts on this. do you think i should make the lyrics a little dirtier without losing the concept and the flow of the song?

Well, really, the only verse that could need a bit more oomph is the last one. The rest is great. =P
