The apparitions tango
To the sound of their heels tapping
procession of prosthetic limbs and mannequins
They're all perfect models of imperfection
With marrow made of cellophane

Strap on your ballroom best
Breathe in and don't exhale
Oh, Juliet! Oh, Juliet!
Deny your name, your father

Rearrange the cells that form my skin
See them through kaleidoscope eyes
Because everybody feigns sometimes

Blur your eyes
Romeo
Bend the lines
Romeo
Do you like what you see?
Oh, Romeo

Where art thou?
I've dressed up this canvas skin
Painted something colorful just for you
Self-inflicted surgery is now routine
It erases all traces of faces we have all known
We have all owned

Stretch me over this two-by-four skeleton
