Emerald Lies (Live)
To be the prince of possession In the gallery of contempt Suffering your indiscreet discretions And you ask me to relent As you accumulate flirtations With the calculated calmness of the whore
I am the harlequin Diamonded costume dripping shades of green I am the harlequin Sense strangers violate my sanctuary Prowl my dreams and they're my dreams
Plundering your diaries I'll steal your thoughts Ravaging your letters Unearth your plots
Innocence, innocence Innocence, innocence
To don the robes of Torquemada Resurrect the inquisition In that tortured subtle manner Inflict questions within questions, within questions
Looking in shades of green Through shades of blue I trust you trust in me To mistrust you Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Through the silk-cut haze To the smeared mascara A forty-watt sun On a courtroom drama
And the coffee stains Gather till the pale kimono Set the wedding rings Dancing on the cold linoleum
This is innocence
And accusation's moths That circle around the light They char their wings In spiral senseless suicidal flight
You packed your world within a suitcase Hot tears melt this icy palace And dissolve a crystal Swallowed by the night
Looking in shades of green Through shades of blue Looking in shades of green Through shades of blue These shades of blue
