Lyrics

GALATEA

Always scared you, didn't I?
I?ve got dragon eyes,
Dark wings made to fly,
The crazy disciple of desire.

Always challenged you, didn't I?
I was your spirit guide,
Your one-woman landslide,
The first to really inspire you.

But all you wanted was a china doll
To lock inside your glass house,
For all the world to see -
Well, that was never going to be me.

So you found your Galatea,
So innocent, so sweet,
Her pretty little lips don?t breathe a word
She?s fascinated when you speak.
Galatea,
Such pure untainted clay
You?ll mold her to your fantasy
She?ll quietly obey

But when the roses fade
And all the games are played
And she still has nothing meaningful to say --

You will dream of me,
Of how it used to be
When we breathed fire every day.

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS

Mirror, mirror, on the wall -
Who?s the fairest of them all?

Galatea ? She?ll never touch the sky
Galatea -- She?ll never break the mould
Galatea ? So beautiful by your side
Galatea ? I hope she was worth the ride
?Cause someday you?ll recall
That you belong to me,
And baby you'll be lonely...
