John Doe (X) - Destroying Angels lyrics

[Verse 1: Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka] The day was nearly over They were hosing down the hulls When they caught sight of her poor body In the rushes and the mud She lay where she had fallen They had hunted high and low But winter had come early And she'd been covered up by snow [Verse 2: Exene Cervenka & Shirley Manson] It took an hour to cut her From the spot where she was found A bright red velvet ribbon Was tangled in her gown Her skin was icy white Her veins were thin and blue There was black ink on her fingers And blood on her toes and her shoes [Pre-Chorus: John Doe & Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka] Bees made honey upon her lips Lips I've waited so long to kiss She seemed so pure without a doubt 'Til the last red drop leaked out [Chorus: John Doe & Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka] Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No lies will you tell [Verse 3: Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka] Some things they are so painful No words for them exist And everyone was solemn As they laid her in the dirt I stood trembling by her graveside With everybody else My sins and all my secrets burned Like fat inside my chest [Verse 4: Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka] I could tell you that I loved her more Than I ever loved myself I could swear I'd never harm a hair Upon her lovely head But I stole her savage beauty She will never lie again I stuffed her full of death caps And it killed my angel dead [Pre-Chorus: John Doe & Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka] Bees made honey upon her lips Lips I've waited so long to kiss She seemed so pure without a doubt 'Til the last red drop leaked out [Chorus: John Doe & Shirley Manson & Exene Cervenka] Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No lies will you tell Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No lies will you tell Destroying angels I knew you so well Destroying angels No lies will you tell No more lies No lies will you tell No more lies No lies will you tell No more lies No lies will you tell
