The Limiñanas - Prisoner of Beauty (feat. Bobby Gillespie) → The Limiñanas en tournée : YouTube : Facebook : Instagram : Twitter : Lyrics: Poor little diamond crashed out on the rocks again Locked in the shadows running from yourself again Left your soul in the ghettoes of yesterday Can’t face up to the role you have to A prisoner of beauty in the Theatre of Cruelty Paradoxical curse of the monied church High on the drama loving the attention you get A strange nocturama, a masqued ball dance of death Some swap roles in a moment, others are fixed Butterfly chimeras, ghosts in the shadows With tricksters who flicker like flames A prisoner of beauty in the Theatre of Cruelty Paradoxical curse of the monied church Out in the streets, stray dogs are runnin’ free Safe in the limo, you think “that used to be me” “Skinny, underfed, no place to rest my head” Now embalmed in a luxury morgue Five star crucifixion Chorus A prisoner of beauty in the Theatre of Cruelty Paradoxical curse of the monied church From a freezing bedsit to a townhouse fears remain Are you who they think you are , or are you still the same? You came to town a nobody and found yourself a ‘cause celebre’ Threw your pearls at swine drinking $100 wine And the best cocaine... But somewhere in the shuffle you lost your cards The Ace of Spades and the Queen of Hearts The King and The Joker are one and the same You had no guilt and you had no shame Suppressed emotions behind the mask Chemicals fixed it and nailed it on hard Dissolute demon in a Dior dress The face of wealth is the face of death A one act play in a drama of pain There’s a loss to be had for all that you’ve gained You’ve lived out all of your teenage dreams But the humiliated child inside still screams You were hoping that fame would pull you out of the flames Of self-doubt, self loathing and pain, pain pain, But the problems remain, Yes, the problems remain A prisoner of beauty in the Theatre of Cruelty Paradoxical curse of the monied church #liminanas
