Well, the distance makes you pretty   And now you're cracked and gray   And your legs they move like scissors   Open up the wound each time you give yourself away      And I'm sorry for the damage   Let me lay down by your side   And let me come down almost human, yeah   For awhile, for awhile, just for awhile   Just for awhile      So dance for me, Virginia   Let the leather kiss your pale white skin   I'd, I'd say I love you, baby   But I'd rather, rather, rather keep it straight and clean      And I'm sorry for the damage   And let me lay down by your side   And let me come down almost human, yeah   For awhile, for awhile, just for awhile      You're torn and frayed, you're bleeding rose   But you fall each time the wind begins to howl   And on your knees these twisted prayers   They fill your mouth but leave you bare      It doesn't mean much   To a girl who's on her own   Hey      And I'm sorry for the damage   Let me lay down by your side   And let me come down almost human, yeah   For awhile, for awhile, for awhile, for awhile   Just for awhile      Just for awhile   Hey, just for awhile   Hey baby, hey baby   Hey, hey, hey
