Lyrics

[00:01.25] Emerald Lies
[00:41.69] To be the prince of possession in the gallery of contempt
[00:55.35] Suffering your indiscrete discretions and you ask me to relent
[01:08.21] As you accumulate flirtations with the calculated calmness of the whore
[01:26.49] Of the whore
[01:37.04] I am the harlequin - diamonded costume dripping shades of green
[01:45.96] I am the harlequin - sense strangers violate my sanctuary
[02:00.75] Prowl my dreams
[02:07.12] My dreams, and they're my dreams, they're my dreams
[02:30.64] Plundering your diaries, I'll steal your thoughts.
[02:35.50] Ravaging your letters, unearth your plots.
[02:40.06] Innocence
[02:41.49] What a surprise,
[02:42.75] Innocence,
[02:43.62] What a surprise
[02:45.05] Innocence
[02:45.93] Innocence
[02:50.04] To don the robes of torquemada resurrect the inquisitions.
[02:52.98] And in that tortured subtle manner inflict questions,
[02:55.35] within questions within questions.
[03:10.81] Looking in shades of green through shades of blue.
[03:15.49] I trust you trust in me to mistrust you.
[03:20.42] Through the silk-cut haze to the smeared mascara.
[03:25.47] A forty-watt sun on a courtroom drama.
[03:32.02] And the coffee stains gather till the pale kimono
[03:36.84] set the wedding rings dancing on the cold linoleum.
[03:58.02] And accusation’s moths that circle around the light
[04:06.13] char their wings in spiral senselesssuicidal flight
[04:12.80] Pack our world within a suitcase hot tears melt this icy palace
[04:20.55] And dissolve a crystal swallowed by the night
[04:28.40] Looking in shades of green through shades of blue
[04:35.40] Looking in shades of green through shades of blue
[00:00.009]
[99:00.000]
