Science Fiction Story

(Almond)

Look she's here again

The girl with the patent leather face
Tears pictures out of magazines
Looks longingly at make-up ads.
And glossy spreads of beauty queens
The girl with the patent leather face
Sits in the dark
A bedsitter gloom
She chains her door
Squats on the floor
Lets no-one into her room

Two face baby
Shiny baby
Two face baby
Shiny baby

Chorus:
You can laugh
Point at me
They do it all the time
But how would you like it
If you had a face like mine

The girl with the patent leather face
Is psychopathic mental case
A target for freaks and pricks
A reject for the human race
The girl with the patent leather face
Hangs 'round the mutant bars
She tampers with machinery
So other beaties crash their cars

Shiny, shiny, shiny
Two faced baby
Shiny baby
Two faced baby
Shiny baby
Two faced baby

Repeat chorus

Repeat first verse

If you kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me shiny baby

Repeat chorus

Had a face like mine
If you kiss me, shiny baby
With your lips of patent leather
And your cold, cold eyes
