Ballad In Suede
Kjelland/Ranney

In the past you put me down
When I followed you around
And I never had a chance

All your friends would point and stare
Or pretend I wasn't there
But they didn't know my will

And you joined into the fun
Shooting words out like a gun
Then you'd laugh and watch me dance

But the final cruel touch
Was to push me for too much
So your beauty look could kill

Who had the final laugh?
Who's the star of the game?
What happened to all your pretty toys?

Now there's nothing left to do
'Cause there's no one helping you
Get your sycophantic rush

In the darkness of the night
You can see that I am right
And there's no way to depart

Though you made an ugly scene
You have sacrificed your queen
And she's burning in the bush

All the rules I wrote are clear
I must take what I hold dear
With a bullet in the heart

Now you'll never put me down
When I follow you around
'Cause you'll never have the chance.
