Lyrics
Someone’s drowning,
in her brown eyes
but I can’t see, if it’s her or me
Velvet on my tongue tonight,
holds her still, keeps it tight
and all the words that stir beneath
are hidden from the light
But I just can not believe,
that its all been done before,
I just can not believe,
that its all been done
I know and I know that this
heart turns and it slowly forgets,
but there’s something burning here
and its not just cigarettes
And its Romeo’s night off,
its Romeo’s night off
and I’m dancing with Jezebel
Her arms are heaven
and all the rest that shows
disappears like this empress
and all her new clothes
Tomorrow’s bleeding
but she’s believing
and I can’t help a lie
when I hear you sigh
But I just can not believe,
that its all been said before,
I just can not believe,
that its all been said
She fades, she fades
like the truth and all it brings
and I don’t know why
this cage bird sings
