Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day a little death
In the parlor, in the bed
In the curtains, in the silver
In the buttons, in the bread
[Verse 2]
Every day a little sting
In the heart and in the head
Every move and every breath
And you hardly feel a thing
Brings a perfect little death
[Verse 3]
He smiles sweetly
Strokes my hair, says he misses me
I would murder him right there
But first I die
[Verse 4]
He talks softly of his wars
And his horses and his whores
I think love's a dirty business
So do I, so do I
[Verse 5]
I'm before him on my knees
And he kisses me
He assumes I'll lose my reason
And I do
[Verse 6]
Men are stupid, men are vain
Love's disgusting, love's insane
A humiliating business
Oh, how true
[Verse 7]
Ah, well, everyday a little death (Every day a little death)
In the parlor, in the bed (In the lips and in the eyes)
[Verse 8]
In the curtains, in the silver
In the buttons, in the bread (In the murmurs, in the gestures, in the pauses, in the sighs)
[Verse 9]
Every day a little sting (Every day a little dies)
In the heart and in the head (In the looks and in the lies)
[Verse 10]
Every move and every breath
And you hardly feel a thing
Brings a perfect little death
