lyrics

the needle invades the tender skin
she feels the bite as it goes in
a necklace forms from beads of sweat
withdraw and bleed she's cold and wet

it rains and she plays with her braided hair
she studies a photo and wants to go there
she knows all about what she'll never attain
pierce and weep in the saturday rain

she always wears red she always wears black
the world's in her head the world's on her back

as chopin plays in another room
she wants to play at bride and groom
the young man moans and turns away
despise and romance just the fuck of the day

the realization starts to set in
exploring and travel will never begin
excitement and wonder are all but dead
she'll never visit the things in her head

she needs some adventure in her life
it comes in the form of a sharpened knife
the beauty and hope drained from her youth
shame and lament for the bitter truth

a child herself a child to raise
she toys with death while her angel plays
she finds herself what she once despised
she closes the book and closes her eyes
