Chateau 04:12
It's so funny to have been bewitched Only to realize she's just a bitch Now I'm as free as the wind that blows One day she had an itch That she scratched 'til it turned into a ditch Now maybe it's because of the meth she put up her nose I know what makes you tick The mind behind them soft lips and a heart just like a closed door All the slaves that have been whipped So you can sit on that chair upon which you sit It's a shame you turned into such a chore Why don't you take out that stick That makes your smile look like a twitch Instead of the joy that you pretend to know I know I can be a prick But that's because you make me sick You're just a girl from the ghetto who thinks she belongs in a chateau

She sings sad songs that make me weep She sings happy songs that make me leap But it's the timbre of her voice that cuts me so deep She's got a smile that's got all you beat She's got a heart that plays for keeps and it's the way she talks that brings me to my knees Let the divine light of love light your way Let it guide you past the darkest parts of the day Let it lead you to me and I'll ease the pain Let the divine light of love lead you my way I've got nothing but trouble on my mind When it comes to this girl who likes the taste of wine I can only hope that she's the wandering kind It's sad luck days and God's evil ways When the sun goes down and takes her away I can only hope that one day she'll stay Let the divine light of love light your way Let it guide you past the darkest parts of the day Let it lead you to me and I'll ease the pain Let the divine light of love lead you my way

Death is coming from around the bend The reaping skeleton has got two things in her hands In one a sweet blade to cut the silver thread and in the other a globe into which she'll gather her dead She was a sweet sweet girl with a mind that curled Like a snake writhing in bed With a touch that would drive any man mad Into a dream in which he wished they both were dead He was a frail old man who had done just as he planned With both feet his mind and his hands But without his heart he was cold and lost in the dark Crying and hoping that the suffering would soon end Death is coming from around the bend The reaping skeleton has got two things in her hands In one a sweet blade to cut the silver thread and in the other a globe into which she'll gather her dead
