Circus Contraption - Lucifer and Luminista lyrics

He was a figure of mid-light across the emberlighted hall The only one to notice me alone against the wall The other girls were like flowers, burning brightly at the ball Though they tried to catch his eye, he wanted me above all And when we danced he put his arms around me, cold and danced sweet And as he left, I saw that he had cloven hooves instead of feet In the morning he came calling, granny hid me 'neath the stairs She tried to tell him I was gone, but somehow he knew I was there Then he burst in, he swallowed granny up and chased me as I ran He grabbed my hair, tore out a lock as he flew back among the damned I need a horse with a hundred copper wings And pa** the vow from my mouth when I sing I need a horse with a hundred copper wings And pa** the vow from my mouth when I sing As I wept by the fireplace, smoke curl as the embers die I thought I heard them whisper, begging me to step inside I said a prayer granny taught me, knowing that I needn't fear Jumped on the coals, shut my eyes and waited for my flesh to sear But it was cold and when I looked about, as dark as father's well My ears were filled with cries of anguish, I'd stumbled into Hell I need a horse with my hundred golden wings And pa** a vow from my mouth when I sing I need a horse with my hundred golden wings And pa** a vow from my mouth when I sing
