Richard Baldwin - Art Tastes Better Blind lyrics

My dark conceit Your bloodstain on my handkercheif Another relic of our grief You can't contrive That we'll die side by side You silly girl Did you think the world Was kind? [Chorus] Elizabeth staggers; She was scared To plunge the stairwells of despair Her pen blots out the skies Her art tastes better blind I recall what the captain said Come upstairs and meet your end I'd rather put out my eyes My art tastes better blind My self-pity Will condone the most wicked deeds Salieri, is my chief So fields of joy I'd gladly see them burnt If they can't be mine I won't abide Their sight [Chorus] Elizabeth staggers; She was scared To plunge the stairwells of despair Her pen blots out the skies Her art tastes better blind I recall what the captain said Come upstairs and meet your end I'd rather put out my eyes My art tastes better blind
