Lament

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
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
