lyrics

Unlike you are to me, I am not compelled to love you.
And the only thing I love about this stage is that it is above you.
O ugly crowd, o ugly crowd. Let the ugliest among you stand alone.
And use your words for you have stolen my own.

This face of mine, take a good hard look at this face of mine.
Call it monstrous, call it divine.
If it's all the same, if it's all the same, then all your gods are monsters.
Then all your gods are monsters.

I dance for you until my feet are dead in my boots.
And I pull out my hair sometimes, I pull it out by the roots.
O ugly crowd, o ugly crowd. Set the ugliest among you apart.
Tear down my dress and count the needles in my heart.

And for my next trick, I will be a woman.
From this terrifying mouth will come a woman’s voice.
And you'll never know the will behind the words,
or the weight of this body when I lay it down.
Like a bag of dresses that never fit me.

This face of mine, take a good hard look at this face of mine.
Call it monstrous, call it divine.
If it's all the same, if it's all the same, then all your gods are monsters.
Then all your gods are monsters.
