Strippers - Ghost of the Robot

From relationships to friendships you lack

Crucial things we need to stay in tact

You stripped for me the best years of my life

And I want them, want them back

Did you strip away the essence of your soul

As you spin around the world’s pole

Did you strip me down for everyone to see

All your attention was such a tease

Things were going fine

Until I tried to put your clothes back on

Something tells me that was wrong

Because you strip me down to this song

Strippers take you for a spin

Pretending that they’re your best friend

Then strip you of your confidence

When you are weak with no defense

Did you strip away the essence of your soul

As you spin around the world’s pole

Did you strip me down for everyone to see

All your attention was such a tease

Things were going fine

Until I tried to put your clothes back on

Something tells me that was wrong

Because you strip me down to this song

Strippers take you for a spin

Pretending that they’re your best friend

They’ll whisper things into your ears

They’ll whisper things I’ll always fear
