The Talent Contest Lyrics - Legendary Pink Dots

She sit before the mirror, hanging mirrors on her 

Ears and spreads the spraypaint on the haystack that 

She calls her hair. She fills a crack, prepares her 

Nails like blood-dipped spears (they're dripping!) 

Smears the lipstick, licks her lips and slips inside 

Her leopard skin--a plunging 'v' from neck to knees, 

But nothing's seen, it's just suggested. Tonight she'll 

Make a plea for starving whales and heart disease 

In trees. She's on T.V., she's longing for a 10 from 

Presentation, application, lubrication; she'd do any- 

Thing . . . anything to win. And Yang and Yin, the 

Juggling twins, come spinning past her door to mild 

Applause and 5.4s and cleaning floors 'til lights 

Out. Funny Murray taps his worry beads and reads 

The Tarot. She looks around and sneers. No com- 

Petition, superstition. Blind ambition. She'd do any- 

Thing to win. And 834's her lucky number . . .
