My first love was an arsonist Black eyes, deep set and avarice Red lips built like a tomb You'll never get out of this (some day I'll see to this) And moonlight I found would bow To her slender hand stretched out Fingers inside your heart and your mind You'll never get out of this (some day I'll see to this) Boy... And I'll tell you when it's over I'll tell you when you can leave I'll tell you when you cried long enough Til your blood fills my cup And my footsteps, they hung in your hallways enough For you to be truly haunted (baby, by me) My first love was a murderer Before I ever got to her Tongue so sharp and serpentine Waltz to remember her (I'll call you later) And I heard a curse being born Forming each finger and forming each thorn Til I became like a stone Things never got better (but I'll call you later) And practicing lies to drip like red wine off her lips
And I'll tell you when it's over I'll tell you when you can leave I'll tell you when you cried long enough Til your blood fills my cup My footsteps, they hung in your hallways enough For you to be truly haunted And I'll tell you when it's over I'll tell you when you can leave I'll tell you when you cried long enough Til your blood fills my cup My footsteps, they hung in your hallways enough For you to be truly haunted (When your blood starts counting losses) When your blood counts it's losses (When your blood starts counting losses) When your blood counts it's losses (When your blood starts counting losses) When your blood counts it's losses Sirens they come and the sirens they leave Sirens they come and the sirens they leave Sirens they come and the sirens they leave Sirens they come and the sirens they leave
