Lyrics
0:29Forgotten throes at another's lie
0:36The heart of love is their only light
0:43Faithless greeds consolidating
0:50Holding down sweet charity
0:57With western eyes
0:59And serpent's breath
1:02We lay our own
1:06Conscience to rest
1:09But I'm aching
1:15At the view
1:23Yes I'm breaking
1:27At the scenes just like you
1:39They have values of a certain taste
1:45The innocent they can hardly wait
1:52To crucify invalidating
1:59Turning to dishonesty
2:06With western eyes
2:08And serpent's breath
2:12They lay their own
2:15Conscience to rest
2:20But then they lie
2:22And then they dare to be
2:27Hidden heroes candidly
2:32So I'm aching
2:38At the view
2:46Yes I'm breaking
2:50At the scenes just like you
3:13I feel so cold
3:19On hookers and gin
3:33This mess we're in
Forgotten throes at another's lie The heart of love is their only light Faithless greeds consolidating Holding down sweet charity With western eyes And serpent's 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 serpent's 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 On hookers and gin This mess we're in
