This limited edition print looks wrong on every nail
Sliced from corner to corner
The canvas a ragged sail
Her piss-hole eyes in fur and lace
Never wandering from his stormy face
A passerby with cloudy eyes throws a shadow that cuts them apart

Across the hours of drinking and alleyway kissing
His breath in her ear as he whispers
Of parts of her he knows are missing
From hallway to room from door to the bed
Where the streetlight fragments in a halo round her head
In a halo round her head

If she could then she would fly away
Spread her wings and catch the wind
The beautiful ruin of love
So harmless from above
A lifetime behind

The mood shifts and he drifts away from the bed
What she's giving is obviously the wrong kind of head
He dresses and leaves with a Bogart shrug
She stares at the impossibly seventies rug
Something breaks and there's poison in every breath that she takes
In every breath that she takes

Pale in the lamplight she cries through the night
A cigarette quivering on her bloodless lip
Check the watch and check the window
Make an undeserving wish

The click of the lock and eyes to the clock when he finally walks back in
Agartha crumbles at the marks all over his skin
He cries and blames the demon drink
Forgot himself, didn't think
A living corpse between a wreck and a tree
She has ceased to be
Oh she, has ceased to be

If she could then she would fly away
Spread her wings and catch the wind
The beautiful ruin of love
So harmless from above
A lifetime behind

The beautiful ruin of love
So harmless from above
A lifetime behind
