I watch you cry again
In the only bar tonight that’s slow
Wearing the dress I met you in
All those years ago
Now
You say “If there is a Hell
That’s where you’ll be
Consumed by pain you’ve never felt but you’ve caused in me“
[Chorus]
Lit cigarettes will rain
As you feed my bones to hungry strays
You’ll kiss each one and give them names
Using my ribs for little games
[Verse 2]
Try to read some stranger’s thoughts
Through his piss-drunk, pale-eyed stare
Then I order another shot
And start to pet your hair there, there
You plucked me out of the wind
Like some insect whirling by
Though I’ve never stopped stinging
You kept me alive
[Chorus]
Lit cigarettes will rain
On a field where horses roam untamed
See you running with them through the flames
Wild flowers in their manes
As you lead the stampede my way
[Verse 3]
Or maybe it’s shivers and snow
An ocean of ice on frostbitten toes
Where whales sing their sad songs beneath my feet
And a girl with long dark hair
Glides between them with ease
[Bridge]
When Death comes driving through
Saying, “Son, take a seat”
I’ll say, “Only if you’re heading to
The Hell she made for me“
[Chorus]
Your cigarettes will rain
Burning holes into my face
I’ll hold out my tongue like an ashtray
Try to taste your lips through the pain
[Verse 1] I watch you cry again In the only bar tonight that’s slow Wearing the dress I met you in All those years ago Now You say “If there is a Hell That’s where you’ll be Consumed by pain you’ve never felt but you’ve caused in me“ [Chorus] Lit cigarettes will rain As you feed my bones to hungry strays You’ll kiss each one and give them names Using my ribs for little games [Verse 2] Try to read some stranger’s thoughts Through his piss-drunk, pale-eyed stare Then I order another shot And start to pet your hair there, there You plucked me out of the wind Like some insect whirling by Though I’ve never stopped stinging You kept me alive [Chorus] Lit cigarettes will rain On a field where horses roam untamed See you running with them through the flames Wild flowers in their manes As you lead the stampede my way [Verse 3] Or maybe it’s shivers and snow An ocean of ice on frostbitten toes Where whales sing their sad songs beneath my feet And a girl with long dark hair Glides between them with ease [Bridge] When Death comes driving through Saying, “Son, take a seat” I’ll say, “Only if you’re heading to The Hell she made for me“ [Chorus] Your cigarettes will rain Burning holes into my face I’ll hold out my tongue like an ashtray Try to taste your lips through the pain Explain Request ×
