The stance of a diva still and alone
Lips of a temptress body of stone
A touch that is velvet a tongue that is wine
Ready and waiting this lady divine
Beauty is my name
False appearances my game
Bring my shiny gilded mirror
Flawless painted beauty's here
Bring me diamonds give me gold
Only treasures will console
I'm illusion, blind sight
Shallow judgement is my right
I will peel you like an orange
And hang your skin in my collection
All I want is surface fare
So bring your goods for my protection
Touch my perfect skin
I am greatness drink me in
I will have you if you're cheap
My domain is pure skin deep
Bring me children give me glass
Only perfect marks will pass
Imperfection has no place where I am goddess
I am grace
I will peel you like an orange
And hang your skin in my collection
All I want is surface fare
So bring your goods for my protection
