[Verse 1]
Where she walks, no flowers bloom
He's the one I see right through
She's the absinthe on my lips
The splinter in my fingertips
[Chorus]
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
[Verse 2]
She the sea I'm sinkin' in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I am
Where I leave off and he begins
[Chorus]
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
[Bridge]
Oh, aren't we a pretty, pretty pair?
Yes, we are
All, all the king's horses
And all of his men, couldn't tear us apart
[Verse 3]
Dancing with a ball and chain
Through it all we still remain
Like bu*terflies around a flame
Till ashes, ashes, we fade away
