Flowers dying in the window
This city screams like heaven's gone haunted
And I am waiting for that girl who told me once
She would love me forever
Dancing 'round the tombstones
Cemetery thighs alive, young and breathing
And I just want you to know
You have the most perfect limbs that
Have ever wrapped around me
Oh, when you looked in my eyes
I was dreaming of suicide
Oh, when your lips fell on mine
I was counting all our friends who've died
Now tell me you're mine
Hold me trembling through the aching night
Bodies lusting for one last wish
Fingers crawl, tender fury
Lay me on the cold ground
Come together
Fucking in the graveyard
To the void, take me, I'm waiting
Girl, I just want you to know
You're my everything
I will love you forever
Oh, when you looked in my eyes
I was dreaming of suicide
Oh, when your lips fell on mine
I was counting all our friends who've died
Now tell me you're mine
Hold me trembling through the aching night
Oh, when you looked in my eyes
For that first time I thought I had died
For that first time I thought I had died
