Come closer, well so I've been told, no one knows her, they swear that they don't, the White Lady, covered in gold, should've seen her lying there, staring so cold,
So come, come as you are, perfect to me, perfect to god, all your mistakes, it's who you are, wear them with pride, wear them like scars, and they become yours,
I'm angry, well so I've been told, no one sent me, I came on my own, they don't trust you, the White Lady certainly won't, they were right to, I'm not wearing their clothes, a disturbance, like an ingrown nail on their toe, I'm the blood in their nose,
I'll take over this place I'll take over this place....
I'll say come, come as you are, perfect to me, perfect to god, and you've made mistakes, well I've made a lot, but so have they, they just never got caught, and I won't be bought.
