lyrics

2. BLACK TULIPS

She's living at the brink
SHe's living at the brink
She's so sick, she's so so sick
The water that she drinks
The only kind she drinks
Shades of pink arsenic
But when she calls
Her voice so small
Though she's tall
She's bored - bored of it

Black tulips
And your faded hair
Jaded stare
You don't care
And those frightened eyes
You despise
Take your time
And though it's ill-advised
Swing your fists
Just don't miss
And never compromise
Black tulips
And never compromise
Black tulips

She's on a sinking ship
She's on a sinking ship
Watch it sink, watch her sink
She'll always have a plan
Just judging by her hand
Henna ink did the trick
She's on board
For one, one more tour

Black tulips
And your faded hair
Jaded stare
You don't care
And those frightened eyes
You despise
Take your time
And though it's ill-advised
Swing your fists
Just don't miss
And never compromise
Black tulips
You'll leave surprised
Black tulips
Oh, and never compromise
Tulips

I know the sun went down tonight
I know a son went down tonight
We went to the eve of the
The dawn that had been all right
