Silver

So, 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

But you will be the first to fall

Every feelin' will dissolve

We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath

Every breath into my breast

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

The hurt that only you could sell

Everybody wants

Everybody says

Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall

Every feelin' will dissolve

We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath

Ever smothered to my breast

We are silver

Ooh, sister, I will follow you this time

Ooh, knowin' I will follow you

Oh

Everybody wants

Everybody says

Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall

Every feelin' will dissolve

We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath

Ever smothered to your breast

We are silver

Silver

Silver

(We are silver)

Oh

Silver

(We are silver)
