0:29Forgotten throes of another's life
0:37The heart of love is their only light
0:44Faithless greeds consolidating
0:51Holding down sweet charity
0:58With western eyes and serpents breath
1:04We lay our own conscience to rest
1:10But I'm aching at the view
1:25Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you
1:41They have values of a certain taste
1:47The innocent they can hardly wait
1:54To crucify invalidating
2:01Turning to dishonesty
2:08With western eyes and serpents breath
2:14They lay their own conscience to rest
2:21But then they lie and then they dare to be
2:29Hidden heroes candidly
2:34So I'm aching at the view
2:47Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you
3:14I feel so cold
3:20All hookers and gin
3:34This mess we're in
Forgotten throes of another's life The heart of love is their only light Faithless greeds consolidating Holding down sweet charity With western eyes and serpents breath We lay our own conscience to rest But I'm aching at the view Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you They have values of a certain taste The innocent they can hardly wait To crucify invalidating Turning to dishonesty With western eyes and serpents breath They lay their own conscience to rest But then they lie and then they dare to be Hidden heroes candidly So I'm aching at the view Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you I feel so cold All hookers and gin This mess we're in
