Open the Kimono Songtext
von Chilly Gonzales

If and when I open the kimono
Let me set the stage and dim the lights
If and when I introduce the monster
One of us might not make it through the night

When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
Oh no

When I open the kimono
I can paint the painful picture
Of a man who′s half a vampire
Who screams into his pillow
As he looks for his reflection
In the mirror on the ceiling
He's covered like a martyr in a shroud

When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
When I open the kimono
Oh no


When I open the kimono
I′ll be dodging all the boulders
That have gained so much momentum
In this avalanche of secrets
I'll be dancing like St. Vitus
But I'm too tired to fight this
I just hope that you won′t hate me when I′m done

(Uh)
Listen
Don't cover your eyes when I open mine
It′s no surprise, ain't got nothing to hide
From Rosemont to Paris
Rhinestones to carats
I was a reject with a fear of rejection
I don′t regret shit everything was a lesson
It ain't easy but I do it with ease
You don′t believe me
I put it out there for everyone to see
Behold, the benevolence!
Perfection ain't begging for acceptance
Grew up from beginnings that were desolate
This role one size fits all, no measurements
You can judge me, sure
But what we gonna see when you open up yours
Tax fraud, divorce, finishing quick during intercourse


Now that I've opened the kimono
The belt falls like a feather to the floor
We can′t put the booze back in the bottle
We can′t live on dreams anymore

When I open the kimono
(Come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
(Come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
Oh no
(Come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
(Come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
When I open the kimono (come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
When I open the kimono (come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
When I open the kimono (come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
Oh no (come on! Open the kimono, open the kimono, open the kimono)
Oh no oh no oh no oh no (Come on!)
Yeah
