Destroying Angels (feat. John Doe & Exene Cervenka)

The day was nearly overThey were hosing down the houseThey caught sight of her poor bodyIn the rushes and the mudShe lay where she had fallenThey had hunted high and lowBut winter had come earlyAnd she had been covered up by snowIt took an hour to cut herFrom the spot where she was foundA bright red velvet ribbonWas tangled in her gownHer skin was icy whiteHer veins were thin and blueThere was black ink on her fingersAnd blood on her toes and her shoesBees made honey upon her lipsLips I've waited so long to kissShe seemed so pure without a doubt'Til the last red drop leaked outDestroying angelsI knew you so wellDestroying angelsNo lies will you tellNo lies will you tellSome things they are so painfulNo words for them existAnd everyone was solemnAs they laid her in the dirtI stood trembling by her gravesideWith everybody elseMy sins and all my secrets burnLike fat inside my chestI could tell you that I loved you moreThan I ever loved myselfI could swear I'd never harm a hairUpon her lovely headBut I stole her savage beautyShe will never lie againI stuffed her full of death capsAnd it killed my angel deadBees made honey upon her lipsLips I've waited so long to kissShe seemed so pure without a doubt'Til the last red drop leaked outDestroying angelsI knew you so wellDestroying angelsNo lies will you tellNo lies will you tellDestroying angelsI knew you so wellDestroying angelsNo lies will you tellNo lies will you tellDestroying angelsI knew you so wellDestroying angelsNo lies will you tellNo more liesNo lies will you tellNo more liesNo lies will you tellNo more liesNo lies will you tell
