in the darkness
she moves with astonishing grace, sarsaparilla
it drips down from her face
in the the darkness
she moves with astonishing ease, sarsaparilla
it drips down from her heaves
goodnight.
she says too much
when she sleepwalks around
her hips are a warm sarcophagus
she's so sadistic
when she's sobering up
self-destructive and sexy
when the weather's hot
oh and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of stone
oh and i want her to know
that my heart is on the road
she fences heartbreak across the border
and builds a better bird house out of bone
she laughs when the main protagonist's family dies
but i wouldn't trust her when she cries at night
am i supposed to close my eyes as you walk away from me?
am i supposed to blind myself so i'll never have to see
you walking side by side with a different kind of man
who'll redefine your body in ways i know i...
what if i don't
wanna go now
will you come and put these eyes out?
and I don't see
what everybody
sees in your sexy body
all i see
is a shallow grave
trapped inside a pretty face
and i walk the same gold streets
and overhear your same heartbeats
and I'll tune my drum just right
so you can come set it off in the night
and I want to be embraced by you
and see our violent pasts collide
I want to crawl in your autumn mouth and
feel the crows pick me apart inside
