SILVER

Close your eyes 
Your Christ has come 
The crippled boy that you once knew 
The charmed enigma chosen one 
With painted lips, skin ripped and torn 
Come touch and feel and lick and smell 
This envy that I've worn so well 
Everybody wants 
Everybody says 
Everybody begs in time 

So drink me in 
Like tainted wine 
Come bite down on my sharpened cup 
And taste the dreams that numb the mind 
A simple word 
A harmless glare 
That binds me with the thinnest thread 
And pins me down to pleasure's bed 
Everybody wants 
Everybody says 
Everybody begs in time 

And you will be the first to fall 
Every feeling will dissolve 
We are silver 
Morphine baby's final breath 
Ever smothered to my chest 
We are silver 

So shy and poised 
With few regrets 
A Judas kill, a complex thrill 
A memory I won't soon forget 
Been washed out clean 
Till all runs dry 
Come touch and feel and lick and smell 
A hurt that only you could sell 
Everybody wants 
Everybody says 
Everybody begs in time 

And you will be the first to fall 
Every feeling will dissolve 
We are silver 
Morphine baby's final breath 
Ever smothered to my breast 
We are silver 

Trip 
Sister I will follow you 
This time 
Knowing I will follow you 

Everybody wants 
Everybody says 
Everybody begs in time 

And you will be the first to fall 
Every feeling will dissolve 
We are silver 
Morphine baby's final breath 
Ever smothered to your breast 
We are silver
