about

This song is a tame continuation of the track Saboteur. (Available on the same LP, "Strangers In The Blight", see below, if.) By this time, the narrator seems to have accepted that his love interest does not seem to be alive, but he no longer cares about that, and applies the favorite Fluorescent Lipstick on the face of his muse in a super-intimate ritual every night. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! (Literally.)

lyrics

Lyrics :

look out, you're hurting yourself again
entangled and twisted
in deathly deviations again
fluorescent lipstick, your name on a fence
the mood of a crowbar
what's the difference

I'm baffled by your every smile
you brought them Marilyn Monroe style
and when I apply your favorite lipstick on your face
how good it would be if you'd be alive instead

fluorescent lipstick
fluorescent lipstick
you're STD statistic
the rest of you is putrid
the darkness in the room
is hiding in your gloom
fluorescent lipstick
I don't want you without it

baby, I'm in no haste
I'm gonna put on your very best face
a little something to emphasize and praise
a little something to conceal and erase

and oftentimes I do wonder
what's left of you to remember
and when I'm losing myself against penumbrae
on your face
I take a glimpse and I'm right there on your retinae

fluorescent lipstick
fluorescent lipstick
you're STD statistic
the rest of you is putrid
the darkness in the room
is hiding in your gloom
fluorescent lipstick
I don't want you without it
