John Grant - Sensitive New Age Guy lyrics

Take Picasso
Otto Dix and add some Salvador Dali
Accompanied by Wagner, plus some Public Enemy
She isn't any of these things
And she would never want to be
She's a special kind of thing
Made from a secret recipe

He had a deeper understanding of the
State that we are in
She didn't run away and hide
She stayed right through the bitter end
He demanded our attention
And we tried to do our best
She was taking us to school
But most of us would fail the test

She's just a sensitive new age guy
You came to the wrong place if
You came to see her cry
If you only have the guts, then please
Look deep into her painted eyes
You could be a better human she
Just wants to see you try

He always played the good
Cop to her fabulosity
Where she had been they had
To replace light bulbs constantly
'Cause she could only always be
The brightest in the room
She had a special way of
Preaching glamour mixed with doom

With just a simple quip she'd wipe
That smirk right off your face
And replace it with a smile
While demonstrating latex grace
And with time I saw him less and less
I don't know where he went
But it was I who ran away
To some far foreign speaking place

She's just a sensitive new age guy
You came to the wrong place if
You came to see her cry
If you only have the guts, then please
Look deep into her painted eyes

She's just a sensitive new age guy
You came to the wrong place if
You came to see her cry
If you only have the guts, then please
Look deep into her painted eyes
You could be a better human she
Just wants to see you try
