Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste lyrics
Song information
Artist: Norma Jean Album: Bless The Martyr And Kiss The Child
Lyrics
Waltz around the room with a glaze in your stare In your tuxedo suit I'll give it a name Lower defenses I'll lower the casket Open the door and open the grave Murder Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer Mediocrity is the killer You find yourself helpless Christ is not a fashion, fleeting away He laid emeralds in her eyes But I'd already tried a braclet made of gold And a scarlet thread around her wrist And everything was wrong so we sang sentimental songs Oh, how seldom we belong, but how elegant our kiss. and we painted crooked lines but we danced in perfect time to a love so much refined, we know not what it is. so like the dullen wine we poor into a grief we'd known before, but never quite like this All I know now is regret. she follows like a silhouette of a cobblestone behind me. she has nothing left to say except to innocently ask, her voice delicate as glass. do you see me when we pass? But I continue on my way
