Play Dead Lyrics by The Birthday Massac
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
And boys are so cold
They speak without meaning
The only time they talk is in their sleep

And girls are a bore
Their touch without feeling
Their secret's always far too grim to keep

And up until now
You've lived in their shadows
Trying hard to please them

But they'll never change
As long as they're breathing

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide the scars of time

And boys are so cruel
So don't let them find you tonight
And girls are so vain
So put them behind you tonight

I'll cast you a spell
A magic where everyone plays dead forever
And after tonight they'll never remind you

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide the scars of time

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide the scars of time
And boys are so cold   They speak without meaning   The only time they talk is in their sleep      And girls are a bore   Their touch without feeling   Their secret's always far too grim to keep      And up until now   You've lived in their shadows   Trying hard to please them      But they'll never change   As long as they're breathing      Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme   To those of us who've never tried   To find a face behind our lipstick smiles      And as our pretty faces die   Our broken hearts will wonder why   The make-up just won't hide the scars of time      And boys are so cruel   So don't let them find you tonight   And girls are so vain   So put them behind you tonight      I'll cast you a spell   A magic where everyone plays dead forever   And after tonight they'll never remind you      Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme   To those of us who've never tried   To find a face behind our lipstick smiles      And as our pretty faces die   Our broken hearts will wonder why   The make-up just won't hide the scars of time      Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme   To those of us who've never tried   To find a face behind our lipstick smiles      And as our pretty faces die   Our broken hearts will wonder why   The make-up just won't hide the scars of time
