desolation holds its head above the ice
it said listen to your heart, not to your mind
like a soldier in a grave, i’m saved!
and id be damned to be a girl
cause i’m the centre of the world
we used to drive the feral coupe through avenues
where the crowded people sang all out of tune
well do they take me as I am?
cause id be damned to be a girl
cause i’m the centre of the world
and all the tremors in my heart
will only break me from the start
when i feel your burnished hands, pressed into mine
i want to melt and sink back into the night
said i’d damned to be a girl
cause i’m the centre of the world
and all the temper in my heart
will only break you from the start
and i fear your burnished hands will take me alive
i want to melt and sink back into the night
oh, when i feel your burnished hands, press into mine
i want to melt and sink back into the night
i fear the burning man, come eat me alive
i want to melt and sink back into the night
