I've seen your fairground hair,
|
your seaside eyes
|
Your vampire tooth, your little truth
|
Your tiny lies
|
|
I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize
|
Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns
|
Your midnight cries
|
|
So dry your eyes
|
And turn your head away
|
Now there's nothing more to say
|
Now you're gone away
|
|
I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand
|
Your monkey paw, your monkey claw
|
And your monkey hand
|
|
I've seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire
|
Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon
|
And your jailhouse smile
|
|
So dry your eyes
|
And turn your head away
|
Now there's nothing more to say
|
Now you're gone away
|
|
I'll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears
|
Your shining prize, your tiny cries
|
Your little fears
|
I'll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes
|
Your vampire tooth, your little truth
|
And your tiny lies
|
|
So dry your eyes
|
And turn your head away
|
Now there's nothing more to say
|
Now you're gone away
|
[Repeat]
