Lyrics
[Verse 1]
it's you that I adore
you will always be my whore
you'll be a mother to my child
and a child to my heart
[Refrain]
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
[Chorus]
lovely girl you're the beauty in my world
without you there are no reasons left to find
[Verse 2]
and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
you'll be a lover in my bed
and a gun to my head
[Refrain]
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
[Chorus]
lovely girl you're the murder in my world
dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
drinking mercury
to the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind
in time
[Verse 3]
in you I see dirty
in you I count stars
in you I feel so pretty
in you I taste god
in you I feel so hungry
in you I crash cars
[Refrain]
we must never be apart
[Chorus]
drinking mercury to the mystery
of all that you should ever seek to find
lovely girl you're the murder in my world
dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
in time
[Refrain]
we must never be apart
[Verse 4]
and you'll always be my whore
cause you're the one that I adore
and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
[Outro]
in you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars
in you I feel so pretty in you I taste god
we must never be apart
