Dear Reader - Placate Her Lyrics

What do you want?
What do you want?
Make your demands

A day without shade
A face without pink
Is it too much to ask?

Plaster it over
Paste on a mask
It's a profitless task

Oh, I can't evade
The con of her sight
Of the girl there in the glass
I know every mark

Oh, how I love her
Oh, how I hate her
How to placate her?

What have you got?
What have you got?
Offer it up

Flat of the feet
Weak in the knees
Hard at the heart

Easily bored
Easily bored
God, you know you're a fraud

Oh, I can't evade
The con of her sight
Of the girl there in the glass
I know every line

Oh, how I love her
Oh, how I hate her
How to placate her?

Oh, how I love her
Oh, how I hate her
How to placate her?
