A Million Ways

Sit back, matter of fact, teasing, toying, turning, chatting, charming, hissing,
playing the crowd.
Play that song again, another couple Klonopin, a nod, a glance, a half-hearted
bow.
Oh such grace, oh such beauty, and lipstick and callous and fishnets and malice.
Oh darling, you’re a million ways to be cruel.
You’re a million ways to be cruel
You’re a million ways to be cruel
I should, I wish I could, maybe if you were, I would, a list of standard-issue
regrets.
One last 80 proof, slouching in the corner booth.
Baby, it’s as good as it gets.
Oh such grace, oh such beauty.
So precious, suspicious, and charming, and vicious.
oh darling, you’re a million ways
Oh darling, you’re a million ways to be cruel
You’re a million ways to be cruel
You’re a million ways to be cruel
Oh darling, oh darling, you’re a million ways,
oh darling, oh darling, you’re a million ways,
oh, darling, oh darling, you’re a million ways to be, oh oh oh oh oh
You’re a million ways to be cruel,
you’re a million ways to be cruel,
you’re a million ways to be cruel
You’re a million ways to be, cruel
You’re a million ways to be, cruel
You’re a million ways to be
Oh darling, you’re a million ways to be cruel.
