lyrics

A window-view
Of the neighbours’ house,
Empty cop cars,
Bloodstained wall.
Smiles turned black,
But you were a good friend,
You were a good friend
Before you left,
Before you left.

Behind the fence,
Beyond those ghostly stairs,
A Christian girl
At a Christmas dance.
One friend lived on
And found years of joy
With her,
You are the one.

The eyes of Christ
Watch a picture frame,
Two bodies fuck
Beneath His painted face.
Sold my soul
For some good days
In a bad year
And killed it all,
Lost control
For a moment
And paid with a life,
Paid with a life.

It’s all right.

You cannot move,
You can’t move back,
You cannot move,
You can’t go back.
Red wine washes white,
Red wine will wash this white.

You’re the star,
You’re the screen,
You’re the end.
