Biting cold, thrashing, scolding
Drown me under our street
Perfect hips, perfect tits she was
Perfect lips, pieces of your heart
Splattered on the cliff.
And so the shattering shards of glass fell
And glistened this way and that
But she would say I won't find my way through the plaster
I'm an empty hourglass in the sand.
Gather round all you young, heed my warning
When you're young and you're lovely, there are voices
That pull you down like some malady inside us
But not yours and not mine in her likeness.
And if I stray from the light
It'll be only for a little while
Oh, for a little while.
Yeah if I stray outta line
Only for a little while
Oh, for a little while.
Yeah if I fade outta reach
Only for a couple beats
Oh, for a couple beats.
Don't fade
Don't fade.
