I've exposed your lies, baby The underneath no big surprise Now it's time for changing And cleansing everything To forget your love My plug in baby Crucifies my enemies When I'm tired of giving My plug in baby In unbroken virgin realities Is tired of living Don't confuse Baby you're gonna lose Your own game Change me And replace the envying To forget your love My plug in baby Crucifies my enemies When I'm tired of giving My plug in baby In unbroken virgin realities And tired of living And I've seen your loving Mine is gone
