Scorpio Rising

Natalie Merchant, 10,000 Maniacs

[Verse 1]
Power, dizzy with it stumble
Detail, a chance for us to quarrel
Anger, my head is shaken violent

[Chorus 1]
If I could calm or restrain you
For the sake of pity
Save the pistol
Save the cynic's tongue
Save that cool white stare
And treat me to an honest face sometime

Amaze me now!

[Verse 2]
Trust is the greatest human error
Empty, used me as a vessel
Ruthless, you're not known for subtlety

[Chorus 1]
If I could calm or restrain you
For the sake of pity
Save the pistol
Save the cynic's tongue
Save that cool white stare
And treat me to an honest face sometime

Amaze me now!

[Verse 3]
Artful, there's quite a skill to torture
A half smile, was it all you could deliver?
Token, so hard to be pleasant

[Chorus 2]
If you could calm or restrain you
For the sake of pity
Save the pistol
Save the cynic's tongue
Save that cool white stare
And treat me to an honest face sometime

Amaze me now!

Amaze me now!
Now!
Now!
