The Ring

Verse 1

Got this little treasure through the skin

Silver ring that catches every stare

Mother says it's such a ugly thing

Dangles when I breathe the winter air

Pre-Chorus

It's a magnet for the curious eyes

Catch the glint when I turn my head just right

And sometimes when the weather's cold outside

You can see the something glistening bright

Chorus

Metal in my nose, metal in my nose

Shiny little friend that everybody knows

Metal in my nose, metal in my nose

Some things pretty, some things just decompose

Verse 2

Woke up with the crust around the ring

Forgot to clean it for a couple days

That's the part they never wanna sing

The glamour has a not-so-pretty phase

Pre-Chorus

But I polish it until it shines again

Push it through the hole that's made of skin

It's a cycle that I'm happy to begin

Beauty lives where hygiene also lives

Chorus

Metal in my nose, metal in my nose

Shiny little friend that everybody knows

Metal in my nose, metal in my nose

Some things pretty, some things just decompose

Bridge

Stainless steel through fragile flesh

A bit of pus, a bit of fresh

This tiny halo on my face

A little heaven, a little disgrace

Chorus

Metal in my nose, metal in my nose

Shiny little friend that everybody knows

Metal in my nose, metal in my nose

Some things pretty, some things just decompose
