The Legendary Pink Dots - 12th lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - 12th lyrics]
Black marble seals the pit
And I can see my face in it
Now pose beside the flame that lasts forever
So fetching in your Autumn dress
Just raise the hem a little less
Be dignified this is a somber moment
Upon the count of three
Sail pale confetti on the breeze
Each flake of pastel paper
Has a name onnot forgotten
And I'd like to pin the
Blame on nameless faces covered, rotten
Limb for limb and through the knees
God, I wish that they were millipedes
A hypodermic mercy won't appease me
This one's for Guy Schlesinger
A jovial young messenger
Who tripped and nearly kissed a girl
Then spilled the sequel, drenched in detail
They're still searching
I know he died a virgin mary, treat him well
For deep inside
The Prince of Dreams still sleeps
And this one makes me weep
A clover leaf that's red but ripped
Still I hear him whisper:
"Best to liveand let live"
LET LIVE
By whose grace do we stand here now
Granted this extension?
Did you just forget to
Mention both our names?
And by what name should be bid you
When you hide and whisper riddles
From the blind side to your deaf ear
We are screaming: "Leave us be!"
LET LIVE
And I can see my face in it
Now pose beside the flame that lasts forever
So fetching in your Autumn dress
Just raise the hem a little less
Be dignified this is a somber moment
Upon the count of three
Sail pale confetti on the breeze
Each flake of pastel paper
Has a name onnot forgotten
And I'd like to pin the
Blame on nameless faces covered, rotten
Limb for limb and through the knees
God, I wish that they were millipedes
A hypodermic mercy won't appease me
This one's for Guy Schlesinger
A jovial young messenger
Who tripped and nearly kissed a girl
Then spilled the sequel, drenched in detail
They're still searching
I know he died a virgin mary, treat him well
For deep inside
The Prince of Dreams still sleeps
And this one makes me weep
A clover leaf that's red but ripped
Still I hear him whisper:
"Best to liveand let live"
LET LIVE
By whose grace do we stand here now
Granted this extension?
Did you just forget to
Mention both our names?
And by what name should be bid you
When you hide and whisper riddles
From the blind side to your deaf ear
We are screaming: "Leave us be!"
LET LIVE
