Preservation

(album: 2XS - 1982)

I'm preserving myself with make-up
Looking in the mirror
I'm preserving my life, I can take it
Shining in the spotlight

Preservation, looking in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scraping it all off
Every night

I'm reserving my rights, reputation
Living in a movie, it's keeping me looking right
When the secret is out to the public
Seeing is believing, they still wanna be me at night
When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder
But that's alright

Preservation, looking in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scraping it off
Every night

They're lining up to make their entrance
When the word's out I'm in town, they're not nice girls
But that's alright
They're looking so much better when the lights go down
But nice girls is just a frame of mind

Preservation, looking in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scraping it off
Every night
