lyrics

Bless the actress
Bless her myth
Her eyes are locked like this
on the bravest sado-masochist
There is no silent witness
Shame takes it shape
and runs in my veins

Your mouth
Your hair
I turn my face
I know I come and take too much
I promised you I would tame this
but I am sick

Wash your sin from this
poison bitten lips
Can't keep my eyes off her pockets
and her lips of the pistol
This trapeze man falls
lands on the trail

Your mouth
Your taste
I turn my face
I know I come and take too much
I promised you I would tame this
but I am sick

What will you say
if you see my face
This guilt we share
but deceit
my own
