lyrics

Love is a hell of a drug, it beats your heart like a million drums and...makes you weep at the roses that remind you of her. You're a practising loner, you're one of a kind.

Lying at the rivers edge, deep, deep breaths they go to your head and yearn at poor Mr. Pitiful, he lost his nerve. He couldn't his hand and folded aces in the end.

Who needs the seasons, they always fall like love letters landin' at the palm of your door. I know it coz I've seen it more than most; you left me here crying baby white as a ghost. An' I know that it won't last, one last whip and a final lash. My soul well it will burn free, but I looked in the mirror honey it ain't me, I'm a different man.. oh you will see.

Lest not be with dread, the Jezebel screams “the harlots dead” and there, you stand like an angel... who lost her wings. Now a petty musician, playin' fates humble strings.

The creatures hustled along, the vampires kept on suckin' their blood and... the Earth she trembled, she fell to her knees. Raped and repeated, her life sucked clean.

Who needs the seasons, they always fall like love letters landin' at the palm of your door. I know it coz I've seen it more than most; you left me here crying baby white as a ghost. An' I know that it won't last, one last whip and a final lash. My soul well it will burn free, but I looked in the mirror honey it ain't me, I'm a different man.. oh you will see.

The wind it talks a lot, the world forgetting, by the world forgot oh no... you're losing you feet now, you're losing your mind. Here ye the lesson of the end of time...
