I hadn't dreamed in years
My nights had become lonely, drunk
Curse the morning
Then I saw Miracle dance
Pulled from my dream by a siren
The kind of fantasy
I'd spend my life in
As she made me skin my knees
Held a shrine with
She kicked me in the teeth for my crying
Hooked me on a leash, then she tied it
Tightly to a tree where the little dogs piss

On a night like this
When a dream of her is ripped away
Close my eyes and say

Try to stay cruel for me (cruel for you baby)
Just for another minute (cruel for you baby)
Try to stay cruel for me (cruel for you baby)
Yeah, though I don't deserve it
Try to stay cruel for me (cruel for you baby)
Yeah (cruel for you baby)

When I watched her pulling bits of wig from her braces
After she cleared all the bills from stage
I nearly approached her then
'Til I saw her face almost grateful in the mirrored wall
And I wished it would fall, and shatter

Tonight 
I'll try again

Hey

Grab the cash out the savings
Hop up to the club start waiting
Drink a few to keep my courage from waning
She pounces on bones
Starts a-flailing
I'm so desperate my chest is aching
The metal on her teeth flashes like a beacon

I wave my cash at the stage
She smiles touching my hand
I recoil and say

Try to stay cruel for me (cruel for you baby)
Yeah, no smiles, no mercy (cruel for you baby)
Try to stay cruel for me (cruel for you baby)
Can't take no more pity (cruel for you baby)
Hey, you've gotta stay cruel (cruel for you baby)
Just like when I'm dreaming (cruel for you baby)
Try to say something cruel (cruel for you baby)
I've been lost, please (cruel for you baby)

(You put that cash in my hand, I'll be)
(Cruel for you baby)

I'm ready, I'm your little slave (cruel for you baby)

(Come on and empty that man out of)

No kindness, no tenderness (cruel for you baby)
Just cruel (cruel for you baby)
(You put that cash in my hand, I)
Try to stay cruel (cruel for you baby)
I want to taste that meanness you sing about (cruel for you baby)
(Come on and empty that man out of)
Try to stay cruel for me (cruel for you baby)
I want your leather, your steel, your heavy heel (cruel for you baby)
