The Cambiata - The Colour of Women lyrics

String me up Strung up She is the thesis of A serpent like love I'm on the train tracks now And it shouldn't be long Before I cut open animals That know the words and sing along Oh, it's such a lovely color I wish that you'd wear it more often But if rosebuds take flight twice Bury my name Sex! Alas! I'm a vortex And lies fall asleep on your riverbeds I'm not going back tomorrow, or any day So that smiling treason will have to wait Oh, it's such a lovely color I wish that you'd wear it more often If tree lines a**imilate me There'll be hell to pay The night I met her we felt like leopards We had them long incisor teeth With which to bite each other Sometime after Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas When it was starting to be warm And seeds were starting to turn into flowers We fell hard and deeply out of love It was neither of our faults But I always blame myself Late during those nights When I evade all that sleep It's as if she was the beginning Where as I was the end On that day last fall We left each other in the best of spirits I drove your car Through the quiet dark Portland fog You captivate me As if I was a queasy aloof patron You captured me And spilled my blood on your apron You are the bane of my existence, girl You are not the displaced child I met You are not the quiet child I met You just destroyed me You are waging war with a powerful enemy You just destroyed me Remember, remember I created you, I constructed you
