Victoria, I hate to be the one to tell you this:
It’s gone beyond
Everyone’s idea of a joke
I know you’re here
On every surface I can smell you near
The scent of cigarettes and Belvadere
Victoria
Morning came, you changed your name
Into a V
no one knows
What you saw, that made your poor
heart bleed
Triumphantly
You did declare your only love was me
So how could he
shut you away?
But when I sing
I hear you end and then I begin
It’s sickening
in a curious way
But he was strong, his arms were long
Longer than yours
What a cruel finishing, diminishing
Just to be sure
He’ll know your name
And I now I know I can feel your pain
Again and again and again
What have I done?
My cell is cold
I am so empty and unconsoled
Once was so proud and so very bold
Oh, Victoria
I was alive, so many times
Under your spell
It’s just as well
You are gone, I won’t be wrong
in hell
All of your ashes still burning
Voices that call in the night
I feel as if I have carried you all of my life
Victoria, I will remember nothing else,
Victoria, you were the one
