Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If and when I open the kimono
Let me set the stage and dim the lights
If and when I introduce the monster
One of us might not make it through the night
[Chorus]
When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
Oh no
[Verse 2]
When I open the kimono, I can paint the painful picture
Of a man who's half a vampire who screams into his pillow
As he looks for his reflection in the mirror, on the ceiling
He's covered like a martyr in a shroud
[Chorus]
When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
Oh no
[Verse 3]
When I open the kimono, I'll be dodging all the boulders
That have gained so much momentum in this avalanche of secrets
I'll be dancing like Saint Vitus, but I'm too tired to fight this
I just hope that you won't hate me when I'm done
[Verse 4]
Uh, listen
Don't cover your eyes when I open mine
It's no surprise, ain't got nothing to hide
From Rosemont to Paris
Rhinestones to carats
Uh, I was a reject with a fear of rejection
I don't regret shit, everything was a lesson
It ain't easy but I do it with ease, you don't believe me?
I put it out there for everyone to see
Behold, the benevolence
Perfectionists ain't begging for acceptance
Grew up from beginnings that were desolate
This role, one size fits all, no measurements
You can judge me, sure
But what we gonna see when you open up yours?
Tax fraud, divorce, finishing quick during intercourse
[Verse 5]
Now that I've opened the kimono
The belt falls like a feather to the floor
We can't put the booze back in the bottle
We can't live on dreams anymore
[PreChorus]
When I open the kimono
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono
Oh no
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono
[Chorus]
When I open the kimono
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono
When I open the kimono
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono
When I open the kimono
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono
Oh no
Come on, open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono, come on
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Yeah
