  • Painted to pure perfection
    We had a real connection
    Bodies, aching
    Overtaken

    You kept me at a distance
    Not asking any questions
    Fingers, pressing
    Learning, lessons

    Beautiful lies on a Friday night
    Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
    Head in the clouds, talking so loud
    All I hear is static
    I'm not a material girl
    Everything in your world just feels like plastic
    Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down

    You just want the power
    You're not really down for love
    You just want the power
    (The power)

    No, I'm not chasing paper
    And I'm not faking neither
    Take me higher
    Or this will expire

    Your self-obsession's boring
    Sorry if I'm ignoring
    Mindless actions
    Lead to destruction

    Beautiful lies on a Friday night
    Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
    Head in the clouds, talking so loud
    All I hear is static
    I'm not a material girl
    Everything in your world just feels like plastic
    Wearing your crown, it's pulling me down

    You just want the power
    You're not really down for love
    You just want the power
    (The power)

    Everything you do is so cruel
    Taking me for a fool
    Making me need a new fix
    Making me worship you

    Everything you do is so cruel
    Taking me for a fool
    Making me need a new fix
    Making me worship you, oh oh

    Beautiful lies on a Friday night
    Starting to wonder where we lost the magic
    Head in the clouds, talking so loud
    All I hear is static
    I'm not a material girl
    Everything in your world just feels like plastic
    Wearing your crown, it's cutting me down

    You just want the power
    You're not really down for love
    You just want the power
