tired traditions, one night stands
all limbs, no love
I hope they miss us, those blood-red kisses from above
don't they look you in the eyes at all
when green figs start to fall?
you can tell that she's in need
that's her standing in her widow's weeds!
wolf-whistle in the pale moonlight
you gotta sweep 'em off their feet
you won't see the shadow but the teeth might catch the light
blues skies to bye and bye there'll be flowers for you baby tonight
news anchors' pornographic sheen
watch, here it comes
hungry ghosts with narrow throats swallow silver tongues
I hope I won't be there to see
god shed his skin on thee
look! it's coming in with clouds
and little words spoke right out loud
me, I just wanna dance with somebody
they don't even gotta love me now
you won't see the shadow but the teeth might catch the light
blues skies to bye and bye there'll be flowers for your baby tonight
"dance with me, I want my arms about you"
you can tell that she's in need
that's her standing in her widow's weeds!
wolf-whistle in the pale moonlight
you gotta sweep 'em off their feet
you won't see the shadow but the teeth might catch the light
blues skies to bye and bye there'll be flowers for you baby tonight
