Lyrics

Peasants gather around, oh, beautiful mutants
Hello, good evening, glad you could come
For time is dead, no longer here
With your back in the sack
And your leather anorak
Do you feel...dark?
In a masque in a cast
It's our only other chance
Oh, I could do nothing to miss you
Shock (shock) there were two of us
Easing me gently out of the skin, oh
These are the times of our lives
The beauty of poison
Shock (shock) there were two of us
Easing me gently out of the skin, oh
These are the times of our lives
This is the beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
Molted down into the rubber, we're so tight
Turn back, burn back turnstile
Is this what you wanted?
With your back in the sack
And your leather anorak
Do you feel...dark?
In a masque in a cast
It's our only other chance
Oh, I could do nothing to miss you
Shock (shock) there were two of us
Easing me gently out of the skin, oh
These are the times of our lives
The beauty of poison
Shock (shock) there were two of us
Easing me gently out of the skin, oh
These are the times of our lives
This is the beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
Peasants gather around, oh, beautiful mutants
Hello again, we're glad that you came
You can't condemn to save
With your back in the sack
And your leather anorak
Do you feel...dark?
In a masque in a cast
It's our only other chance
Oh, I could do nothing to miss you
Shock (shock) there were two of us
Easing me gently out of the skin, oh
These are the times of our lives
The beauty of poison
Shock (shock) there were two of us
Easing me gently out of the skin, oh
These are the times of our lives
This is the beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
The beauty of poison
