Destroying Angels (feat. John Doe & Exene Cervenka)

歌詞

The day was nearly over They were hosing down the house They caught sight of her poor body In the rushes and the mud She lay where she had fallen They had hunted high and low But winter had come early And she had been covered up by snow It took an hour to cut her From the spot where she was found A bright red velvet ribbon Was tangled in her gown Her skin was icy white Her veins were thin and blue There was black ink on her fingers And blood on her toes and her shoes Bees made honey upon her lips Lips I've waited so long to kiss She seemed so pure without a doubt 'Til the last red drop leaked out Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No lies will you tell Some things they are so painful No words for them exist And everyone was solemn As they laid her in the dirt I stood trembling by her graveside With everybody else My sins and all my secrets burn Like fat inside my chest I could tell you that I loved you more Than I ever loved myself I could swear I'd never harm a hair Upon her lovely head But I stole her savage beauty She will never lie again I stuffed her full of death caps And it killed my angel dead Bees made honey upon her lips Lips I've waited so long to kiss She seemed so pure without a doubt 'Til the last red drop leaked out Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No lies will you tell Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No lies will you tell Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No more lies No lies will you tell No more lies No lies will you tell No more lies No lies will you tell
