Scorpio Rising Lyrics
Power
dizzy with it stumble
detail
a chance for us to quarrel
anger
my head is shaken violent
if i could calm or restrain you
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynics tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
amaze me now
trust is
the greatest human error
empty
used me as a vessel
ruthless
you're not known for subtlety
if i could calm or restrain you
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynic's tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
amaze me now
artful
well there's quite a skill to torture
half smile
was it all you could deliver
token
so hard to be pleasant
if you could calm or restrain it
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynic's tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
amaze me now
dizzy with it stumble
detail
a chance for us to quarrel
anger
my head is shaken violent
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynics tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
the greatest human error
empty
used me as a vessel
ruthless
you're not known for subtlety
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynic's tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime
well there's quite a skill to torture
half smile
was it all you could deliver
token
so hard to be pleasant
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynic's tongue
save the cool white stare
and treat me to an honest face sometime

Probably inspired by the 1963 experimental film of same title.
Before I knew the Zodiac meaning of Scorpio rising I felt this song was about a lying politician.
A person with a Scorpio rising sign is mysterious and quiet, but has an underlying allure that's difficult to pin down. The song may very well be about a person Natalie interprets as such. The last two lines of the chorus in particular - "cool white stare" and "treat me to an honest face sometime" - hint at that.
