Emma Pollock - Alabaster lyrics

Once upon a time you were on my side We'd slay the opposition with triumphant cry Like king and queen we ruled it all Stuck it out through rise and fall Once upon a time you were on my side Drink it up Fill your cup A face as white as Alabaster With blood that flows a little faster A thief amongst the people as they take my side You stole the j**el they guarded with a jealous pride Like king and queen we ruled it all Stuck it out through rise and fall Once upon a time they were on your side Drink it up Fill your cup A face as white as Alabaster With blood to turn upon its master These little secrets do betray you see Written in the creases of the smile you flash at me A sip of sullied promises Bring me the head of happiness dead You know I love a happy ending But your straight talk just keeps on bending You leave a trail of your addiction When all that binds us now is friction The wolves and the witches are in your bed As the ghouls and the goblins crawl in my head The wolves and the witches are in your bed As the ghouls and the goblins crawl in my head Drink it up Fill your cup A face as white as Alabaster Oh can't you drink a little faster? These little secrets do betray you see Written in the creases of the smile you flash at me When giving me excuses that you think I still believe
